Seminar Synopsis

Inherent tensions can exist in the role s that Counsel and Experts play in the arbitral or judicial process that of ten require careful navigation to ensure their respective duties are proper ly fulfilled. Balancing the competing demands of advocacy vs neutrality, ex pertise vs consultation, interests of the client vs the duty to the tribuna l or Court, have real consequences that spill over into the reality of ever yday decisions made by both Counsel and Expert. How often have you heard Ex perts say:

Or Counsel say:

In this seminar, we will cover thes e, and other, points and take a tongue-in-cheek approach to peeling back so me of these real challenges with a view to equipping both Counsel and Exper ts to better deal with them.

Our panel of a seasoned expert, an experienced lawyer and leading King’s Counsel in international arbitration promises to make this an informative yet fun sess ion!
