Ion has acted in arbitration cases connected to several jurisdictions and conducted under most of the procedural rules that are frequently used in arbitrations, including the ICC, LCIA, ICSID, UNCITRAL, LMAA and CPR rules.  His civil law and common law background allows him to effectively advise on such matters.  At Quinn Emanuel, he has represented clients in a variety of industries, including financial services, manufacturing, shipping, infrastructure, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications and mining.
