Sarah Altschuller
Associate
Sarah Altschuller has a strong domestic and international litigation and arbitration practice, but she has a particular emphasis on advising clients on public international law dispute resolution matters. In this practice, she has advised sovereign clients on boundary issues, litigation in U.S. courts, and trade and investment disputes.
Sarah is also actively engaged in Foley Hoag's unique corporate social responsibility (CSR) practice. In this role, she provides advice to major multinational corporations on best practices with regard to human rights, labor rights, and indigenous rights issues, as well as on stakeholder relations with local communities, host governments, and non-governmental organizations. Working with clients in a broad range of industry sectors, she provides advice on managing both the challenges and the opportunities of globalization, as well as on risk management issues.
Sarah's in-depth practical experience in globalization has involved post-law school studies at North South University in Dhaka, Bangladesh (2002 - 2003), where she conducted research on how changing international trade regulations impact the country's garment sector. Before entering law school Sarah conducted social research in 1998 and 1999 on publicly-traded domestic and international companies at KLD Research & Analytics, a socially responsible investment firm.
