This year's Alexander Lecture, Guardian, Gatekeeper or Guide will be delivered by Claudia Salomon FCIArb, the?President of the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC Court), the first woman in this role in its 100–year history.
The lecture will discuss the role of arbitral institutions in protecting the integrity of the?arbitral process, promoting the rule of law, and providing access to justice.
Claudia Salomon FCIArb says: "It is a truism that an arbitration is only as good as the arbitrator. Is it also true that an arbitration is only as good as the arbitral institution? With the proliferation of arbitral institutions worldwide, parties today have many choices. And because that choice matters, I wanted to explore with this lecture how the various approaches used by different arbitral institutions could impact the arbitral process. I also wanted to dive more deeply into the assumptions about the role arbitral institutions play in both preventing and resolving disputes to ensure we are meeting the rapidly evolving needs and expectations of the global business community."
Claudia is widely recognised as one of the leading arbitration practitioners of her generation, with more than 25 years’ experience representing parties in some of the most complex, high value and significant disputes.
