Perspectives on arbitration rule updates from LCIA president and ICC president-elect

New York-based partner JP Duffy and London-based partner Simon Greer discuss key points from interviews with ICC President-Elect Claudia Salomon and LCIA President Paula Hodges QC, about the updated ICC and LCIA rules. The duo discuss the commonalities and differences in the institutions’ new approaches to issues such as: the use of technology in arbitrations; efficiency and flexibility; consolidation and multi-contract and multi-party proceedings; preventing disruption and delay; transparency; Tribunal secretaries; third-party funding; and data protection.
