Appleton & Associates International Lawyers LP is a boutique law firm specializing in international economic law. We focus on solving problems and resolving disputes. We have more than 25 years experience in international investment and trade disputes.

We brought the first international arbitration claims under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Since then, we have brought many other pioneering actions to provide predictability and international commercial stability. Our work is under international investment treaties such as the NAFTA, the USMCA, the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreements, the Canada–EU Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA), and many other bilateral investment treaties.

Our lawyers are frequent speakers at international conferences and scholarly events on arbitration, international economic law, trade, and public international law issues. We also regularly assist the public in understanding new developments in the law.

Appleton & Associates International Lawyers LP and its lawyers are deeply committed to social justice and the rule of law. Since 1998, we have provided philanthropic support to these areas through the Appleton Foundation (www.appletonfoundation.org).
