Paul Tichauer and I have worked closely together since he was Founding Co-Chair of CanArbWeek in 2020. His leadership is always clear, concise and pragmatic. Highly focused, he brings a natural ability to address both major and minor issues in a manner that is direct yet allows for different perspectives. He is driven by a desire for real results that get the job done!

I had the pleasure of working with Dr Tichauer as part of UNCITRAL Working Group III on ISDS Reform. He demonstrated a deep and nuanced understanding of the complex legal, procedural, and policy issues under consideration, informed by his extensive experience in international arbitration, mediation, and dispute resolution more broadly.
Throughout the Working Group’s deliberations, Dr Tichauer contributed thoughtfully and constructively, combining technical rigor with a pragmatic, solutions-oriented approach. He was also extremely supportive of my participation, fostering inclusive and substantive discussions.
