Tuesday, 13 May 2025 @ 16:00 – 17:30 BST

As the role of arbitrators continues to evolve in today’s dynamic global dispute resolution landscape, so too must the practices that underpin their effectiveness and credibility.

This third installment in the From Aspirant to Arbitrator series brings together a distinguished panel of arbitration experts to explore the key behaviors, frameworks, and judgment calls that define successful arbitrators — not just those who issue enforceable awards, but those who deliver substantive justice with procedural integrity.

  • Learn how arbitrators navigate ethical, legal, and procedural dimensions to “do the right thing, the right way.”
  • Understand how timely, clear, and well-structured procedural orders serve as a foundation for fairness and efficiency.
  • Explore how arbitrators can balance institutional or ad hoc rules with their own discretion, while keeping justice and due process at the forefront.
  • Discuss what it means to truly “deliver justice” as an arbitrator — not only a binding result, but a process that earns legitimacy and trust.
  • Whether you’re an aspiring arbitrator, early in your practice, or looking to refine your approach, this session offers practical insights grounded in lived experience and global best practice.
