    My focus

    I focus my practice on high-end litigation and investigations, including white-collar work and international arbitrations pertaining to commercial disputes throughout the United States and overseas. I have successfully represented clients in proceedings administered by many of the world’s leading arbitration bodies, including the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). My extensive business network in Turkey and the United States has trained me to tackle issues confronting clients from a global perspective.

    Before joining NP, I worked as a litigator at another international law firm and as a lecturer at University of California, Berkeley, and consulted on business projects in over 50 countries; served as lead client contact on transactional matters involving international investment companies; drafted and negotiated a wide variety of derivatives and arbitration agreements; advised clients on worldwide enforceability of arbitral awards; and negotiated cross-border commercial transactions.

    • Represented individual clients in complex, cross-border civil litigation and investigations in the United States
    • Represented international clients operating in Europe in arbitration conducted in the United States
    • Assisted in the development of compliance programs for international corporations with regard to their commercial practices
    • Represented clients in ongoing criminal proceedings, developing legal defenses and trial strategy
    • Attended and participated in witness depositions in civil litigation discoveries
