Diamond McCarthy’s International Practice covers complex cross-border work where we provide advice and advocacy for private parties, sovereign States and State entities.

The firm regularly handles bet the company cases with disputed amounts in the billions of dollars. Our instructions range across a variety of industries and jurisdictions, including under all major international arbitration rules.
Diamond McCarthy’s International Practice includes international arbitration (commercial and investment-treaty) and transnational litigation work, with a special focus on natural resources and energy, construction and infrastructure, telecommunications, media, and technology, and finance sectors.
Our focus within the energy and natural resources sectors has evolved significantly over decades of representing clients from our origins in the oil patch of Texas, to counsel representing clients in transnational disputes across the globe, with instructions in Latin America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, the CIS, and Asia. Diamond McCarthy’s international arbitration work is closely aligned with the firm’s business and insolvency litigation practice and its domestic U.S. arbitration practice concentrating in arbitrations under AAA/ICDR and FINRA Rules. Some of our senior partners devote all of their practice to arbitrator work.
In addition to its international work, the firm has an established record of arbitration-related experience in U.S. courts, including in support of international proceedings through the enforcement or vacatur of arbitral awards and discovery under Section 1782.
Our diverse client list includes sovereign governments, Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 companies, multinational corporations, financial institutions, international liquidators, and various players in bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, from trustees and receivers to creditors and investors.
