Managing conflicts – the arbitrator and counsel perspective

Intro: When does the conflicts question arise?
- At the time of constitution of the Arbitral Tribunal
- But also while the proceedings are pending – so constant monitoring is needed (both from the arbitrator perspective and counsel perspective)
What do we mean by “conflicts”?
- Reference to ICC Rules (independence and impartiality of arbitrators)
- Reference to the latest revision to the IBA Guidelines on Conflicts of Interest in International Arbitration (illustrations based on green, orange and red lists)

How to manage conflicts when they arise?
From the arbitrator perspective:
- Need to have comprehensive conflicts check system (make sure that all parties, counsel, witnesses and experts are considered)
- That the system monitors for conflicts while the case is pending
- Whether certain disclosures are necessary and/or advisable? For ex. where counsel is co-arbitrator in a different case
From the counsel perspective:
How to behave when arbitrator conflict is perceived – challenges to arbitrators under ICC Rules (procedure, etc).
Avoid creating conflicts - reference to IBA Guidelines on Party Representation in International Arbitration
