Practice team Vice-Chair Christopher Boog achieved special distinction and was ranked as a Global Elite Thought Leader, a list recognizing a few lawyers "at the peak of the profession".

WWL Arbitration 2020 recognizes individual leading lawyers in each jurisdiction. Lawyers are carefully selected for their outstanding expertise and experience as arbitrators, counsel, co-arbitrators, and arbitration chairs in commercial and investor-state disputes under the institutional rules of the ICC, ICSID, UNICTRAL and more.

Schellenberg Wittmer is listed as a leading firm overall and as one of the firms with the highest number of recognitions, recommendations and nominations, particularly in the Future Leaders 2020 analysis.

WWL Arbitration 2020 is comprised of two lists – one for leading arbitration practitioners (WWL Arbitration 2020) and another for pre-eminent lawyers (divided by partner and non-partner) aged 45 or under, whom the market considers to be the future leaders of the arbitration profession (WWL Arbitration Future Leaders 2020).
