Following a successful year for Cleary Gottlieb’s international arbitration practice and victories in high-profile matters, the firm is proud to have won, and been shortlisted for, several prestigious awards that recognize the strength of the practice.
Cleary won Global Arbitration Review’s “Most Important Published Decision” in recognition of our representation of the Russian Federation in the landmark Yukos case. The award was presented on March 29, 2017, in Milan. Cleary successfully assisted the Russian Federation in obtaining an order from The Hague District Court that set aside the $50 billion award obtained by Yukos’s former majority shareholders. The decision annulled what has been widely reported to be the largest-ever investment treaty arbitration award.
Several other significant cases in which Cleary has been involved as counsel were also included on GAR’s shortlist:
