While many disputes revolve principally around legal issues, for some a comprehensive decision depends on underlying commercial and technical considerations. These disputes require clear understanding of the substantive issues in addition to sound application of relevant laws.
“I believe ensuring the arbitral decision is right is as important as ensuring it is enforceable. Including relevant technical and commercial experience on the arbitral panel helps achieve this.”
— Paul Tichauer, FCIArb
As a CIArb Fellow, I have the training, knowledge and understanding needed to resolve complex commercial disputes. And as an experienced engineer and CEO, I bring in-depth industry knowledge and first-hand expertise in a wide array of commercial and technical sectors, coupled with demonstrated ability to manage the arbitral process.
“My objective has always been to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the ADR process by introducing an experience base and understanding which complements that provided by the arbitration lawyers.”
— Paul Tichauer, FCIArb
