Winston & Strawn has one of the most recognized international arbitration practices in the world. Our international arbitration practice includes attorneys in our Geneva, Paris, Hong Kong, Washington, D.C., Chicago, and New York offices who have participated in international arbitration proceedings under all of the major international arbitration rules.

Winston & Strawn attorneys have handled international arbitration matters worldwide—before tribunals sitting in Geneva, London, Paris, Hong Kong, China, Washington, D.C., New York, Zurich, Stockholm, The Hague, Brussels, Miami, Singapore, and other cities. These matters have ranged from some of the largest and most complex multi-jurisdictional disputes in the world, to mid-sized, straightforward commercial arbitrations, and a variety of mediation proceedings.
