Introduction
Dr. Alper Tosun is a partner in our Complex Commercial Disputes practice group. He represents the legal interests of clients from the United States, Europe, and Asia. He is a leading practitioner in the field of international commercial arbitration proceedings. In the same area, his dissertation is published by University of California, Berkeley, on the recognition and enforcement of international arbitral awards. He has regularly acted for international clients in arbitrations seated across the globe and has specific knowledge of disputes in the construction, energy, mining, and infrastructure industries.
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 also worked 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.
