Winston & Strawn Recognized in ALM’s International Arbitration Scorecard “Biggest Defense Wins”

Winston & Strawn is listed for "Biggest Defense Wins, 2011-2013" in the latest edition of ALM's biannual International Arbitration Scorecard. Only ten international arbitrations were selected for this honor during the two-year period.

Winston & Strawn was selected for its representation of the Kingdom of Jordan in a high stakes international arbitration, The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan v. International Company for Railway Systems. Our attorneys, led by Geneva managing partner Ricardo Ugarte, obtained a favorable award for our client in this ICC arbitration and a related ICSID arbitration. The award was against a private company for breach of contract related to the construction of a modern railway. With more than $1 billion in dispute, the arbitral tribunal dismissed all claims against our client and awarded our client all costs and legal fees relating to the ICSID proceedings.
