Inside arbitration podcast : Anniversary edition: Spotlight on Andrew Cannon and Simon Chapman KC

Liz Kantor and Vanessa Naish, co‑editors of Inside Arbitration for the past decade and hosts of the Inside Arbitration podcast series, present a special anniversary edition marking ten years of this flagship publication. They are joined by our Global Co‑Heads of Arbitration, Andrew Cannon and Simon Chapman KC, for a thoughtful and wide‑ranging discussion reflecting on a decade of change and development within the arbitration landscape. In this commemorative episode, Liz and Vanessa speak with Andrew and Simon about the origins of Inside Arbitration, the major trends that have shaped international arbitration over the last ten years, and the developments set to influence its future trajectory. From procedural innovation and increasing regionalisation to the growing impact of geopolitics, ESG considerations, and the evolution of investment treaty arbitration, the conversation provides a candid and compelling insight into how the practice has progressed and where it is heading next. Listeners can also look forward to an energetic quick‑fire round to close the episode, during which Simon and Andrew offer rapid, practical insights on seats, sectors, strategy, drafting pitfalls, and career advice for aspiring practitioners.
