#Legal Insights | Gleiss Lutz on International Arbitration – Episode 3: Arbitrator standards

The Gleiss Lutz on International Arbitration podcast explores
current trends in international arbitration. In the third
episode, our experts Lukas Schultze-Moderow and Björn P. Ebert
discuss today’s heightened demands on arbitrators with Matthew
Adams, a foreign lawyer in our Dispute Resolution practice. For
good reason, arbitrators are being held to greater standards,
particularly with regard to independence and impartiality. Our
experts discuss the IBA’s revised and supplemented Guidelines on
Conflicts of Interest in International Arbitration and in
particular shed light on how social media is shaping the
guidelines governing arbitrator conduct. The discussion concludes
with a look at the recently published IBA empirical study on
ethnic diversity in international arbitration.
