The Gleiss Lutz on International Arbitration podcast explores current trends in international arbitration. In the third episode, our experts Lukas Schultze-Moderow and Björn P. Ebert discuss today’s heightened demands on arbitrators with Matthew Adams, a foreign lawyer in our Dispute Resolution practice. For good reason, arbitrators are being held to greater standards, particularly with regard to independence and impartiality. Our experts discuss the IBA’s revised and supplemented Guidelines on Conflicts of Interest in International Arbitration and in particular shed light on how social media is shaping the guidelines governing arbitrator conduct. The discussion concludes with a look at the recently published IBA empirical study on ethnic diversity in international arbitration.
