International law firm Eversheds ranked in top 15 worldwide by Global Arbitration Review

Eversheds' International Arbitration Group has again been ranked in the world's top 15 international arbitration practices by the leading international arbitration journal Global Arbitration Review (GAR). Each year the GAR conducts a survey of international arbitration practices, clients, institutions and arbitrators to determine the top 100 international arbitration practices worldwide.

GAR has again confirmed that Eversheds' International Arbitration Group sits amongst the global elite. GAR made special note of Eversheds’ investment treaty and public international law expertise. It also noted the international breadth of Eversheds’ practice which, with a core in Paris and London, has international arbitration specialists in many locations worldwide including Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

Claudius Triebold, a partner in Eversheds’ International Arbitration Group based in Switzerland commented:

"I am delighted that a joint effort across Eversheds to build a team of dedicated international arbitration practitioners in key jurisdictions has borne fruit and gained recognition from the market and Global Arbitration Review."
