Arnold & Porter secured a complete victory for NRCO Engineering, S.A. in an ICDR arbitration in Houston arising from a cross-border liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply venture in Eastern Europe. NRCO is owned by Ovik Mkrtchyan, an engineer and businessman from Uzbekistan who founded Gor Investment Limited, a global enterprise focused on advancing sustainable, innovative technologies.

The tribunal found a Texas energy company and its president liable for breach of contract and ordered them to pay all damages, attorneys’ fees, and interest that NRCO requested.

The arbitration team was led by litigation partner Ryan Hartman, who is co-chair of the firm’s Energy and Infrastructure group, with Sally Pei and Volodymyr Ponomarov, in close collaboration with John Bellinger, who leads the firm’s Global Law and Public Policy practice. The victory adds to Arnold & Porter’s deep experience representing clients in complex energy, infrastructure, and cross-border disputes.

We were delighted to welcome a fantastic group of students to our London office for our first Spring Vacation Scheme over the past two weeks.

Throughout the programme, students took part in a variety of discussions and workshops designed to give them a deeper understanding of the firm and its practice areas. They also enjoyed an evening social with our trainees—complete with games—which was a great opportunity to connect in a more informal setting.

The scheme concluded with student presentations, where we were impressed by the quality of insights, enthusiasm, and thoughtful perspectives shared. A big thank you to everyone across the firm who contributed their time and expertise to make the scheme such a success.

Applications for our next scheme will open in September.
