Tony Dymond is a partner at Debevoise & Plimpton and co-chair of the firm’s Asia arbitration practice. His practice focuses on complex, multi-jurisdictional disputes in both litigation and arbitration. He is widely acknowledged as a leading lawyer in high-value disputes arising from large-scale projects, particularly in the energy and infrastructure sectors.
Mr Dymond is consistently recognised as a leader in his field. He is recommended for international arbitration and construction disputes in The Legal 500: UK (2023), where sources say his ‘knowledge, attention to detail, rigour and, above all, intelligence sets him apart’. Described as ‘an exceptional legal mind’ who is ‘able to reduce complex issues to their key components’ and ‘the crown jewel of the firm’s construction practice group’, the guide also hails him as ‘one of the few lawyers who genuinely understands construction and engineering delay matters’ and a ‘prolific, top-class strategic thinker’. Chambers UK (2023) also recommends Mr Dymond, describing him as ‘an excellent pragmatist with very sharp attention to detail and an ability to grasp complex technical matters quickly.’ He is named by Who’s Who Legal as a Thought Leader in construction and by Expert Guides as one of the United Kingdom’s leading construction law practitioners.
