Williams & Connolly’s John Buckley and Jon Landy have authored the U.S.A. Chapter in The International Comparative Legal Guide to: International Arbitration 2025 (ICLG 22nd Ed.), which addresses international arbitration issues in dozens of jurisdictions. As stated by the Guide’s editor, each entry is written by leading international arbitration practitioners in that jurisdiction. The U.S.A. chapter covers common issues in international arbitration laws and regulations, including arbitration agreements, governing legislation, choice of law rules, selection of arbitral tribunal, preliminary relief, and interim measures.
John Buckley, a partner for almost four decades, founded and led the firm’s International Disputes practice. Now Senior Counsel, he acts as an independent arbitrator in international and domestic arbitrations, focusing on commercial and investor-state disputes involving energy, intellectual property, financial transactions, life sciences/biotechnology, and joint ventures and partnerships. A Fellow of the College of Commercial Arbitrators and the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, he has served as chair, sole arbitrator, and co-arbitrator in institutional (AAA, ICDR, ICC and CPR) and ad hoc arbitrations.
Jon Landy, Chair of the firm’s International Disputes practice, focuses his practice on international and domestic commercial arbitrations and investor-state arbitrations. He has experience before many of the world’s leading arbitral institutions—including ICSID, ICC, LCIA, AAA/ICDR, and HKIAC—in matters that have spanned a range of jurisdictional law and subject matter, including an increasing emphasis in recent years on energy matters, investment treaty arbitrations, and patent-licensing commercial disputes.
