With clients ranging from Fortune 100 companies to non‑U.S. sovereigns to small businesses and individuals, Greg has served as a strong and agile representative before diverse national and international legal venues. These include the International Trade Commission and the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, in addition to U.S. courts and arbitration tribunals.
