Skilled and strategic in a complex international contract dispute

I engaged Rich Deutsch at Pillsbury's Fort Worth office to handle a high-stakes dispute with a former overseas business partner. The situation involved complex contractual breaches and jurisdictional questions across two countries. Rich's deep focus in international commercial arbitration was immediately apparent. He didn't just apply legal principles; he crafted a strategy that considered the practical realities of enforcing an award internationally. His recognition in the field, including the recent Lawyer of the Year award, is well-deserved. He was thorough, patient in explaining the arbitration process, and ultimately secured a very favorable settlement for us without the need for a full hearing. The only slight drawback was that during particularly busy periods, response times to non-urgent emails could stretch to 48 hours, but his associate was always available as a backup. For anyone in Texas facing a cross-border commercial dispute, Rich Deutsch provides exceptional, strategic counsel grounded in real-world experience.
