Session 4 – Finding trusted partners: the importance of ancillary services providers in arbitration & ADR practice 

In any arbitration & ADR proceedings, clients and legal representatives often leave selection and management of ancillary services until the early submissions of the proceedings are completed. While this may not be a problem before the pandemic, continuing such practice these days may not be the best regardless of travel restrictions easing. Furthermore, ancillary service providers, in fact, hold the same importance as arbitral institutions and law firms that serve as clients’ trusted partners in ensuring efficient and streamlined process. In this session, the Panel that consists of arbitration & ADR services providers such as; document repository and hearing solutions providers, experts, and third party funders will impart their experience and knowledge about their line of work, why and how these services matter the most, and how clients, legal representatives, and arbitral institutions can best work together in the context of the arbitration & ADR ecosystem.
