Hogan Lovells’s global International Arbitration group has been ranked among the ten most active worldwide in the latest Global Arbitration Review (GAR) rankings.
The group was ranked number six, up two spots from last year’s rankings. This is the ninth consecutive year that GAR has recognized the group within this prestigious top ten.
In addition to moving up in its global ranking, the group also received the 2018 award for the most important decision of the past year for their work in Slovak Republic v Achmea, led by partners Markus Burgstaller and Karl Pörnbacher.
The GAR 30 ranking was revealed at the Annual Awards Dinner, recently in Paris.
Unlike other arbitration law firm rankings, GAR ranks firms on a variety of criteria including, the number of arbitration hearings conducted over a two-year period, hours billed to arbitration, and the amount in dispute in those cases. Final rankings are also based on the number of arbitration appointments handled by firm members and the number of individuals who appear in GAR’s sister publication, Who’s Who Legal: Arbitration.
Hogan Lovells Global Head of International Arbitration Dan González said, “This ranking is a testament to our leading international arbitration practice and the hard work and dedication of our entire team. It exemplifies our deep bench of experience and commitment to client service – an achievement we are all proud of.”
London international arbitration partner Markus Burgstaller said, “The landmark Judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Slovak Republic v Achmea, while issued only a few weeks ago, has already had a major impact on international arbitration in the EU and will continue to do so in the years ahead.”
Hogan Lovells was also singled-out for its experience with investment treaty disputes, including many instructions from both investors and governments such as China, Mexico, Mongolia, Panama, Slovakia, Venezuela, and Vietnam. GAR also noted the continued strengths and growing presence in emerging markets such as Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.
