International Expertise
The Firm’s arbitration practice is based in New York, Paris, London and Mexico City. Its international arbitration group is composed of lawyers of various nationalities and backgrounds, enabling the Firm’s clients to benefit from a diverse pool of legal talent and extensive language capabilities.

Diversity of Clients
The Firm is highly experienced in all aspects of international arbitration involving public and private entities throughout the world. Curtis is known for acting on behalf of states, state-owned entities and international organizations both in disputes and non-contentious matters. We have represented governmental clients as well as private organizations in disputes involving construction, engineering, oil & gas, infrastructure, transportation, natural resources, business combinations, international investment, telecommunications and high technology, with disputed amounts ranging from $10 million to $2.2 billion.
All-Inclusive Practice
Curtis offers its clients assistance in all stages of the arbitration process, including the preparation of arbitration clauses, pre-arbitration negotiations, representation before arbitral tribunals and in proceedings for the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards in national courts.
