I opened my independent practice in 2017, after almost a decade in large international law firms and international organizations, advising on public international law and representing sovereign states, investors, and corporate entities in treaty and commercial arbitrations across multiple jurisdictions and arbitral fora.
International arbitration has long been structured around large-firm economics: high hourly rates, deep teams, and overhead that clients absorb whether or not it serves their case. That model works for some disputes. But it also prices out a significant share of clients with legitimate treaty or complex cross-border claims and no realistic path to pursue them.
I left to build something different.
My services do not price at a discount — they price at efficiency.
More than fifteen years of hands-on arbitration work mean:
- No learning curve on your file.
- No ramp-up costs for basic doctrine or procedure.
- No reinvention of procedural strategy with every new case.
I build on established frameworks and I build with technology
— proprietary tools developed through
One Joule LLC, my legal technology lab, that reduce the document-intensive, repetitive work that drives costs in complex arbitration.
In practical terms, this means you pay for:
- Senior judgment,
- Applied efficiently,
- Through right-sized cross-border teams,
- Supported by bespoke legal technology.
That model has opened doors for clients who would otherwise never have accessed investor-State arbitration or complex cross-border commercial arbitration. That is the point.

I opened my independent practice — and founded , my legal technology lab — to change that equation.
