Another Heaping Helping of Litigator of the Week Runners-Up and Shout Outs

April 21, 2023, The AmLaw Litigation Daily

A Covington team including David Pinsky, Marney Cheek, and Jeremy Wilson was named "Litigator of the Week" first runners-up for representing Naftogaz, the Ukrainian state-owned oil and gas company, in securing a $5 billion award from Russia stemming from assets seized in the 2014 annexation of Crimea. The Covington team previously represented Naftogaz in securing wins in the jurisdictional and merits phases of the multiyear proceeding. The damages phase, conducted before a tribunal at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, coincided with Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
