Emmanuel, described by market sources as "the best foreign lawyer in China" advises and represents companies, State-owned entities and governments in international commercial and investment treaty arbitrations under all major arbitration rules, with a focus on investment, oil & gas, energy and mining disputes, as well as disputes having a Chinese and African nexus.
