As part of a strategic expansion in its international arbitration practice, Bracewell has announced the hiring of James Duffy IV as a partner in their New York office. Duffy transitions to Bracewell from his previous position at Reed Smith, bringing with him considerable expertise in representing clients across various sectors in international arbitrations. He has a wide range of experience operating under major arbitral rules globally, including the United States, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Duffy’s primary regions of focus include the Middle East, Northern Africa, the Indian sub-continent, Sub-Saharan Africa, and East Asia. His move is expected to bolster Bracewell’s capabilities in these high-growth areas, as the firm looks to strengthen its presence in international arbitration forums. The announcement was made by the firm earlier this week, underscoring its commitment to enhancing its service offerings in this complex field.
