LONDON, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Global law
firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP has expanded its International
Arbitration Practice in London
with the appointment of three new shareholders, Jason Hambury, Gurmukh
Riyat, and Clea
Bigelow-Nuttall, from Pinsent Masons.
"Jason, Gurmukh, and Clea are a heavyweight arbitration team
with an exceptional track record in high-value disputes across a
number of key industry sectors, including infrastructure,
construction, and energy," Greenberg Traurig Executive Chairman
Richard A. Rosenbaum said. "Their
wealth of experience will be instrumental in helping us to execute
our ambitious plans to develop our International Arbitration
Practice in key regions. We are among the very largest U.S.-based
firms, with 400 lawyers in New
York and 34 offices across the country, as well as 14
offices internationally, and, unlike many other so-called global
firms, we are both one unified firm and committed to empowering our
local offices to be full-service competitors in their markets. This
includes our commitment to being a major force in disputes, both
litigation and arbitration, civil and criminal, with almost 30% of
our London lawyers now practicing
in disputes work."
Hambury, Pinsent Masons' former global co-head of international
arbitration, focuses on international arbitration, litigation, and
strategic project advice in the energy, infrastructure, and
manufacturing sectors, acting for owners, operators, contractors,
large corporations, and government bodies on high-value disputes.
He has advised on major projects in Europe, the Middle
East, Africa, Australia, and South
America, and has over 20 years' experience of international
arbitration under the ICC, LCIA, SCC, and UNCITRAL Rules, in both
civil law and common law jurisdictions.
Riyat also focuses on international arbitration and strategic
project advice, regularly representing clients in the construction,
engineering, energy, and manufacturing sectors in complex
litigation and alternative dispute resolution proceedings. He has
represented private companies, state-owned entities, and states in
numerous international arbitrations including under the ICC, LCIA,
SCC, and UNCITRAL Rules.
Bigelow-Nuttall has broad experience representing private
companies, state-owned entities, and states in numerous
international arbitrations including under the ICC, LCIA, DIAC,
HKIAC, SIAC, ICSID, and UNCITRAL Rules, particularly within the
infrastructure, construction, mining, and energy sectors. In
addition, she has acted as secretary to arbitral tribunals in
contractual disputes in the energy and heavy infrastructure
sectors, and sits as a board member of the global organization
ArbitralWomen.
"Jason, Gurmukh, and Clea bring with them vast experience and
technical excellence, and are therefore great additions to our
International Arbitration Practice. The infrastructure,
construction, and energy sectors continue to produce some of the
world's largest disputes. The addition of these new colleagues will
ensure we are well-positioned to continue to provide premium
services in the international arbitration space to our global
client base," added Masoud Zabeti, co-chair of the Global
Litigation Practice.
