TJ Auner focuses his practice on high-stakes commercial disputes, both domestic and cross-border. TJ represents clients in state and federal courts and in arbitrations under the rules of the major arbitral institutions, including the American Arbitration Association (AAA), International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR), International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), and the Cairo Regional Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (CRCICA).

Recently, TJ successfully represented a contractor in an ICC arbitration involving the construction of a multibillion dollar LNG (liquefied natural gas) facility; defended against a TRO (temporary restraining order) in aid of arbitration in New York state court; obtained emergency relief in aid of arbitration in federal court requiring the preservation of assets; and secured multiple interim awards under the AAA emergency procedures, including fee awards. Other recent experience includes defending a state-owned energy company in an LCIA arbitration involving the failure to take a substantial LNG cargo under a gas sales agreement; representing a U.S. investor against the Mexican government in one of the first investor-state arbitrations commenced under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA); and successfully quashing subpoenas issued under 28 U.S.C. § 1782 on behalf of U.S. subsidiaries of an international, state-owned company.

Following law school, TJ served as a judicial clerk for Judge A. Joe Fish of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas in Dallas, Texas.
