Gary Born
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 international litigation.
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 several decades and has taught international dispute resolution at law schools in Europe, the United States, Asia, the Middle East and elsewhere.
Born's three volume treatise on International Commercial Arbitration, currently in its third edition, is cited as the standard text in the field of international arbitration. International Commercial Arbitration provides a detailed treatment of the subject of international commercial arbitration agreements, procedures and awards, 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] International Commercial Arbitration is frequenty relied upon by apex courts in leading jurisdictions around the world, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, India, Singapore, Switzerland, Australia, the Netherlands and Hong Kong.
Born has also written on international litigation. His commentary and materials on International Civil Litigation in United States Courts is in its seventh edition. The work is a reference work on international litigation and was the foundational text on the field in the United States: International Civil Litigation is frequently relied upon by US judicial decisions, including the US Supreme Court and various Courts of Appeals.
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 and was voted the 2009 "IDR-Related Book of the Year" by the Oil-Gas-Energy-Mining-Infrastructure Dispute Management (OGEMID) network. Born again received the OGEMID "Book of the Year" award in 2010 for his International Arbitration and Forum Selection Agreements: Drafting and Enforcing. He also received the Smit-Lowenfeld Prize of the International Arbitration Club of New York.
Born is an advocate in the fields of international arbitration, international litigation and public international law. He has participated as counsel in more than 725 international commercial or investment arbitrations, including several of the largest institutional and ad hoc arbitrations in recent decades (see below) and sat as arbitrator in more than 250 international arbitrations. In 2006, Born was chosen by his peers as the "World's Best International Litigator" in a survey by Legal Media Group. He was the recipient of the inaugural "Advocate of the Year" award by the Global Arbitration Review in 2011, starred status in Chambers Global from 2009 through the present, and the International Lawyer of the Year in 2014-20 and 2024.
