Charles (Chip) B. Rosenberg is Counsel in the Firm’s International Arbitration practice. He is a specialist in public international law and international arbitration, focusing on both investment treaty arbitration and international commercial arbitration.
Chip has experience representing clients in disputes at the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), and the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC), as well as under the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) and the arbitration rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL).
Chip repeatedly has been recognized as a "Future Leader" by Who’s Who Legal: Arbitration (2017-2021), which focuses on selecting outstanding attorneys aged 45 or under. Who's Who Legal wrote in its 2021 edition that Chip is a “very talented, collaborative and responsive lawyer” who is considered to be “a true heavyweight in the arbitration arena” thanks to his “remarkable experience in international investment disputes.” He previously was recognized in its 2019 edition as "'a brilliant writer and tactician' who peers note 'really gets it' when it comes to complex arbitration proceedings and is 'one to watch'," and in its 2017 edition as "hardworking and approachable." He also repeatedly has been recognized as a "Rising Star" by DC Super Lawyers (2016-2019).
Chip is the Vice-Chair of the International Dispute Resolution Section of the DC Bar, the Vice-Chair of the Young Members Group of the North America Chapter of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, and the Co-Editor-in-Chief of ITA in Review, the law journal of the Institute for Transnational Arbitration (ITA). He previously served as a Regional Representative of the ICC Young Arbitrators Forum (ICC YAF), a Steering Committee Member of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution’s Young Attorneys in Dispute Resolution (CPR Y-ADR), and the Executive Editor of the World Arbitration & Mediation Review (WAMR).
Chip has created and taught international investment seminars at The Hague University of Applied Sciences in The Netherlands and at the American University Washington College of Law in Washington, DC.
Prior to joining King & Spalding, Chip spent two years clerking for The Honorable Charles N. Brower, who was ranked the “world’s busiest arbitrator” by The American Lawyer in terms of large investment treaty and international commercial arbitrations, in London, England and at the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal in The Hague, The Netherlands. As a law clerk, he also served as Tribunal Secretary in multiple ICC arbitrations.
Chip graduated first in his class, summa cum laude, and Order of the Coif from the American University Washington College of Law.
