Gary B. Born (born September 14, 1955) is an American lawyer. He is chair of the International Arbitration and International Litigation practices at the international law firm Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP and the author of commentaries, casebooks and other works on international arbitration and litigation.
Early life and education
Born attended primary schools in France and Germany and completed his secondary education in the United States. He received a bachelor's degree, summa cum laude, from Haverford College in 1978 and a J.D., summa cum laude, from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1981.
Born served as a law clerk to Judge Henry Friendly of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (1981–1982) and Justice William Rehnquist of the U.S. Supreme Court (1982–1983). Born has practiced with Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP in London for the past three decades and has taught international dispute resolution at law schools in Europe, the United States and Asia.[1]
Scholarship
Born’s treatise on International Commercial Arbitration has been cited as the standard text in the field of international arbitration.[2] International Commercial Arbitration provides a treatment of the subject of international commercial arbitration and proposes theories regarding the global legal regime for international arbitration and the constitutional status of the 1958 New York Convention (United Nations Convention on Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards).[citation needed]
Born has also written on international litigation. His commentary and materials on International Civil Litigation in United States Courts is in its fifth edition. The work is a reference work on international litigation and is credited[by whom?] with having created the field in the United States:[a] International Civil Litigation is frequently relied upon by US judicial decisions, including the US Supreme Court and various Courts of Appeals.[b]
Born has also authored casebooks on international arbitration (including International Arbitration: Cases and Materials (Aspen 2010) and International Commercial Arbitration: Commentary and Materials (Kluwer 2001)) and works on international dispute resolution (including International Arbitration and Forum Selection Agreements: Drafting and Enforcing (Kluwer 4th ed. 2013) and International Arbitration: Law and Practice (Kluwer 2012)).
Born's treatise International Commercial Arbitration was awarded the American Society of International Law's Certificate of Merit for 2010[3] and was voted the 2009 "IDR-Related Book of the Year" by the Oil-Gas-Energy-Mining-Infrastructure Dispute Management (OGEMID) network.[4] Born again received the OGEMID "Book of the Year" award in 2010 for his International Arbitration and Forum Selection Agreements: Drafting and Enforcing.[4]
Representations
Born is an advocate in the fields of international arbitration, international litigation and public international law. He has participated in more than 600 international arbitrations, including several of the largest institutional and ad hoc arbitrations in recent decades (see below). In 2006, Born was chosen by his peers as the "World's Best International Litigator" in a survey by Legal Media Group.[c] He was the recipient of the inaugural "Advocate of the Year" award by the Global Arbitration Review in 2011[5] and the International Law Office (ILO) Client Choice Award for International Arbitration Lawyer of the Year in 2012 and 2014.[6]
Born has represented a diversity of clients. He has represented multinational corporate groups in a number of major international commercial and other arbitrations during the past decade. These included disputes involving Deutsche Telekom[7] and Vivendi and France Telecom, Repsol and Atlantic LNG 2/3, Shell Petroleum, Volkswagen, and others.[8]
Born acted as lead counsel in the Abyei Arbitration, conducted under the auspices of the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in the Hague at the Peace Palace. He represented the Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A) in the arbitration, implementing the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement, between the Government of Sudan and SPLM/A. The Abyei Arbitration had its oral hearings being open to the public and web-cast live around the world. Born’s closing submissions in the Arbitration and the Tribunal Award can be viewed on the website of the PCA.[9] Born represented the State of Eritrea against Yemen in an arbitration under PCA auspices concerning territorial sovereignty over a number of islands in the Red Sea. Born also represented Greenpeace in an arbitration against the Republic of France, concerning the Rainbow Warrior incident. The arbitration concluded with an award of damages in favor of Greenpeace.[10]
Born has sat as arbitrator in institutional and ad hoc arbitrations, including both international commercial and investment arbitrations. Born was a member of the arbitral tribunal in Biwater Gauff v. Republic of Tanzania, which issued an order setting forth guidelines on transparency and confidentiality in investor-state arbitrations.[11]
