The appointment of arbitrators unveiled: a comparison of party and CAM criteria

Presentation

What really happens behind the scenes of an arbitrator’s appointment?

Join us for a 90-minute long-form conversation offering an exclusive deep dive into the arbitrator selection process. The discussion will compare the strategic priorities of the parties with the institutional role of CAM, bridging the gap between institutional transparency and the parties’ need for specific expertise in complex, cross-border disputes.

The session will explore:

The Institutional Perspective: how a leading arbitral centre such as CAM ensures neutrality, independence, and excellence in its appointments.
The Parties’ Perspective: what truly influences the choice of an arbitrator in high-stakes international disputes.
Contemporary Trends: diversity, the impact of the ERA Pledge, and the evolution of international standards.
The Human Factor: career paths, obstacles, and reflections on the future generation of international arbitrators.
