Commercial practitioners do not have to wait any longer to see who will take over the Commercial Division’s international arbitration matters. Last month, Honorable Deborah Kaplan, the Administrative Judge for the New York County Supreme Court, announced that Justice Saliann Scarpulla would replace Justice Charles Ramos following his retirement from the bench last year.
Since 2013, all international arbitration cases filed in the Commercial Division had been assigned to Justice Ramos in an effort to establish a dedicated part specializing in the international arbitration field. Justice Scarpulla is a wise choice with her many years of experience in complex commercial litigation, including a number of years at Proskauer Rose LLP. (Full disclosure: Justice Scarpulla and Andre Castaybert were colleagues at Proskauer.)
