Ware Jackson Partners win rare dispositive rulings in $2 billion international commercial arbitration

Partners Eileen O’Neill and Michelle R. Meriam Blair won rare, pre-hearing dispositive rulings in a $2 billion international commercial arbitration in favor of Ware Jackson’s client, a Houston-based Fortune 500 oil and gas company. The arbitrator agreed to hear the client’s motion for dispositive rulings, and ruled that the opposing party’s contract and tort claims for over $2 billion in consequential damages for alleged late deliveries were barred by limitations and foreclosed by the terms of the parties’ contract.
