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.
