[QUOTE="Laurel Lance - Black Canary, post: 242807, member: 41321"] Good question, I've researched which firms have strong international arbitration and public international law after being PFOd by half of VC focused firms. IMO, I will see firsthand where the firms have offices in these 5 critical cities for international affairs: • Washington DC: US Federal Government / ITC investigations. • Brussels: European Commission / Competition & Trade defense. • Geneva: World Trade Organization (WTO) / WHO / Arbitration / WIPO / ILO , etc • New York: United Nations Headquarter / UNDP / UNICEF, etc • London: The Commonwealth Secretariat / Amnesty / Oxfam Based on the firms you mentioned, only White & Case and King & Spalding are meet the necessary requirements, both firms really focus in trade and energy. What are the rest? • [B]King & Spalding:[/B] [B]Oil, Gas & Construction[/B]. • W[B]hite & Case: [/B]The Defenders of [B]Sovereign States[/B] & Mega Infrastructure Projects. • [B]Akin: [/B]The Bridge between [B]Arbitration and Trade Policy[/B]. [B]• Sidley Austin: [/B]The Specialist in [B]Life Sciences[/B] & WTO Trade. • [B]Baker McKenzie: [/B]The Leader in [B]Post-M&A[/B] & Emerging Market Mining Runner app (4 offices only, no Geneva): • Winston & Strawn: Shut the office in 2016 and currently fly in and fly out lawyers. • Clifford Chance: operate from Brussels office • A&O Shearman: operate through best friend network. • HSF Kramer: operate from Paris office • Hogan Lovells, Covington, and Arnold & Porter: Headquartered in DC-London, hiring former politicians from downing street & white house as partners. Indeed, this awareness is really important especially if you want direct exposure and potential secondment to the offices during your rotational seat in international arbitration and public international law. I'd encourage not focus on raking like Chambers and 500 as it often reflects the regional insights of the office, not the whole company strategy both long and short term. For instance, Debevoise is known as a white shoe firm, PE heavy in the US, but in the UK is focusing on litigation. [/QUOTE]
