Jones Day

Michelle Bradfield heads the ‘unusually well-qualified’ public international law team at Jones Day, which advises on treaty investment claims, treaty succession matters, and human rights issues. The ’simply excellent’ Bradfield acts for states and international organisations on boundary disputes, maritime delimitation, and treaty interpretation matters. The group also handles advisory work regarding climate change and international environmental law for clients in the energy industry. Lee Coffey is a key contact for international arbitration; Elizabeth Robertson is a name to note for EU law, ESG matters, and sanctions; while Alex Chalk KC joined from 6KBW College Hill in January 2025, strengthening the firm’s international commercial arbitration offering.
