Dispatches from a wandering president

Key Points:
The progress of arbitration reforms is intrinsically linked to their respective governments

My recent election to President of the Chartered Institute of International Arbitrators has provided me with an unparalleled opportunity to pursue the interests of one of the world's leading professional institutions and to prominently position Australia on the map of international commercial arbitration. It is an opportunity for which I am very grateful.

Since my election in February the role has demanded attendance at numerous arbitration conferences, participation in international Vis moots, the delivery of countless speeches and has undoubtedly increased my familiarity with many international departure lounges!
