Arbitrator Disclosure

Interested parties should not rely on this website as a complete or updated source of disclosure information about me. I do not have ongoing access to the databases of Baker McKenzie, my prior law firm. Consequently, I do not have access to connections that my prior law firm, or its attorneys, may have with participants in any matter in which I serve (or is asked to serve) as an arbitrator.

I am a member of numerous professional organizations and regularly participate in industry conferences and events. I do not maintain records of fellow members, co-panelists, or attendees, nor do I actively monitor contact lists on LinkedIn or similar platforms. Tangential connections formed in these professional contexts should not be considered to be relationships that could reasonably affect my impartiality or independence. (See Canon II, ABA/AAA Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes (2004); General Standard 2, IBA Guidelines on Conflicts of Interest in International Arbitration (2024)).

I request that any party in an arbitration for which I am proposed as arbitrator promptly disclose any facts or circumstances considered relevant to my impartiality or independence as soon as that information is reasonably available and, for that purpose, to undertake a reasonable continuing search of publicly available information promptly after learning of my prospective appointment as arbitrator.
