Non-lawyer Arbitrators: Expertise and Perspectives

Wednesday, 13 November 2019 6.00 for 6.30 pm

The CIArb and LMAA have welcomed non-lawyer arbitrators since the organisations were founded.  But arbitration has become increasingly dominated by lawyers in recent years and regulations around the world are marginalising arbitrators who come from other professions.  This seminar will look at what non-lawyers bring to arbitration and whether the arbitral community is in danger of losing their expertise and perspectives.
