NEWMANS ROW acts as a hub for a small group of first-class arbitrators around the world. It aims to provide the best possible practice management for independent arbitrators as well as to avoid or at least reduce the ever-increasing problems created by conflicts of interest within the traditional structures. Rachel has extensive experience working with all major arbitral institutions and a formidable reputation in practice management providing essential support to busy arbitrators as well as solicitors/lawyers involved in international arbitration. George further bolsters the professional management provided independently to each neutral.

NEWMANS ROW is not a firm but is able to provide high level practice management without the need to function as a firm – and to maintain the individual identities of the arbitrators.

Hub users experience independent practice and are supported by an independent network when needed.
