Our Experience

The Show Goes On: Ambassador Theatre Group Short-Circuits Years of Construction Litigation

When construction and design defects at Boston’s Emerson Colonial Theatre delayed the world premiere of Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Mintz filed litigation on behalf of theater operator Ambassador Theatre Group and worked with its general counsel to successfully resolve the matter through mediation.

Taiwanese Client Obtains Two $20M+ Awards in Multinational Arbitration

Mintz secured awards of over $21 million and $26 million in multinational arbitrations for digital consumer product manufacturer Tatung Company. The matter was split into a breach of contract case against an electronics wholesaler and an alter ego case against its parent company and CEO.

Eurobond Holders Obtain Arbitration Award

Mintz secured an arbitration award of more than $140 million for bank and insurance bondholders following a Eurobond default. The matter against the British Virgin Islander bond issuer, the Egyptian guarantor companies, and two individual owners was found to involve fraud and misappropriations of assets.

Our Approach

We help our clients avoid costly disputes or, when that is not possible, to win them. To begin, we can help you put in place practical, effective, formal, and informal mechanisms for dealing with disputes. Thus, we regularly become involved at the contracting stage to draft beneficial dispute resolution provisions. When a dispute cannot be avoided, we focus first on your objectives in light of the legal, commercial, reputational, and other risks presented in each case. Our aim is to bring disputes to an early and successful conclusion.

International Arbitration

International arbitration is the preferred method of resolving cross-border disputes. The neutrality it offers, together with the relative ease of enforceability of awards, can make it a more attractive forum for disputes than litigating in contracting parties' national courts. Its sophistication continues to develop and its popularity grow.

Our team has particular experience in a number of substantive areas including handling disputes related to joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, licensing and collaboration, insurance and reinsurance, and intellectual property. Our lawyers have been involved in international arbitrations (and ancillary litigations) involving parties, transactions, projects, evidence, or assets in, for example, Abu Dhabi, Austria, Bahrain, Canada, the People’s Republic of China, Egypt, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Oman, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.
