Williams & Connolly Senior Counsel John J. Buckley, Jr. and partner Jon M. Landy have co-authored the United States jurisdictional Q&A chapter in the International Comparative Legal Guides - International Arbitration Laws and Regulations 2026.  Covering 30 jurisdictions, this edition equips global business leaders, in-house counsel, and legal practitioners with authoritative, up-to-date information on the legislative frameworks and regional practices governing international arbitration, as surveyed by leading practitioners worldwide.

John Buckley, a partner in the firm for almost four decades, founded and led the firm’s International Arbitration practice group. He now acts as independent arbitrator in international and domestic arbitrations.  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.  Jon’s experience in these matters involves a range of industries—energy, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, semiconductors, mobile telephony, infrastructure, and construction—and spans a wide array of factual, legal, and expert areas.
