Public International Law

Our lawyers advise governments and other clients with issues including sovereign immunity, international boundaries, anti-corruption issues, and state asset recovery.    

Cooley’s international boundary experience extends both to land (including lakes and rivers) and maritime disputes between states, national boundaries between subdivisions of states, highly contentious border disputes in relation to oil and gas deposits at or straddling international boundaries, and related regulatory and compliance matters, particularly under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.    

UK Chambers & Partners and the UK Legal 500 have recognized Cooley as one of the leading firms in this practice.
