Hagit has represented clients in international arbitrations across the world and in courts across the United States. She has also served as an expert witness on New York contract law in proceedings in Canada and the United Kingdom.

Hagit’s experience handling complex international arbitrations has earned her recognition in Chambers USA, The Legal 500, Global Arbitration Review and other publications as a leading practitioner of commercial dispute resolution, with sources noting:

  • "She's a force to be reckoned with."
  • "She thinks ten steps ahead."
  • "She combines exception command of forensic detail, with first-class presentation and cross-examination skills."
  • She is thoughtful and thorough in her analysis, counsel and writing."

She was also named a "Distinguished Leader" by the New York Law Journal in 2021.

Hagit sits as an arbitrator regularly and frequently writes and lectures on topics related to international business disputes. She is former chair of the Arbitration Committee of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution (CPR), a current member of the ICC Commission, and a founding Board Member of the New York International Arbitration Center.
