Winning a multibillion US dollar international arbitral award for a large supplier of natural gas to Spain's energy market. The arbitration was in connection with a price-reopener dispute centered on the value of natural gas to end users in Spain, taking into consideration all applicable transmission and regasification charges and operational issues. Atlantic LNG Company of Trinidad and Tobago had initiated the arbitration, demanding a US$1 billion price increase under a contract between the parties. We defeated the claim and successfully counterclaimed for a substantial price decrease.

Following the final hearing, the case settled on a confidential basis.

Representing the Czech Republic in an UNCITRAL action alleging breaches of the expropriation and discrimination and fair and equitable provisions in the Czech-Netherlands BIT in connection with the forced administration of a major Czech bank. Damages were alleged to be US$1.5 billion.

The case was settled prior to the beginning of the quantum phase.
