Ricardo Ugarte Named a 2017 “ADR Champion” by National Law Journal

International Arbitration Practice Chair Ricardo Ugarte has been named an “ADR Champion” by National Law Journal. Now in its second annual issue, the 2017 class of ADR Champions includes 37 trailblazers in alternative dispute resolution.

The publication recognizes Ricardo's pioneering spirit in his practice of international arbitration, international litigation, and complex commercial litigation, describing the high praise he consistently receives from clients as to his “strategic and proactive” work style. Also noted is the broad acknowledgment of his prowess by industry publications such as Chambers Europe, Chambers Global, and The Legal 500 U.S. Further, Ricardo was lead counsel in an international arbitration touted by The American Lawyer as one of the “Biggest Defense Wins, 2011-2013.” 

The profile notes that Ricardo “sees increasing competition and increasing need to find third party funding for significant client cost of their arbitration,” to which the Winston & Strawn International Arbitration Practice is well positioned to respond given its robust relationships with third party funders for client arbitrations.
