Personal bio
I am currently a partner in Foley Hoag's International Litigation and Arbitration Department, having moved from Sidley Austin in early 2025.
With 25+ years of international experience in dispute resolution, my goals include to grow my practice as an arbitrator. I bring both commercial understanding, gained through years as a “Big Law” partner, and sensitivity to public policy issues, built during formative years in public service and as a diplomat.
Expertise includes:
• Cross border commercial disputes, including sale of goods, distribution, transport industry (esp. aviation) and international aspects of intellectual property
• Disputes concerning regulated industries, including access to facilities and technology
• Public international law, particularly treaty interpretation, trade law, investment law and the law of the sea
• Dispute resolution procedure, drawing on extensive experience as counsel before diverse tribunals
