Season 6 Episode 9 - The Counsel Withdrawal

First, we’re introducing our new guest correspondent Leonor (familiar to loyal listeners), who talks to Lucy Greenwood about how the Green Pledge has morphed and how it is implemented in the real world [TIME 11:40]

The three co-hosts then discuss an issue which is very top of the international arbitration community’s mind in times of war and sanctions: counsel withdrawal [TIME 38:41].

As always, we try to finish with a very Happy Fun Time, which sees us express some concerns about “pay to play” publications and conferences [TIME 56:49].

Season 5 Episode 5 - The Damages Expert

The sound is a bit bad because we’re sitting so far apart (together with editor Jan). Brian has called up damages expert Brent Kaczmarek [TIME 08:25] to benefit from his experience from hundreds of arbitrations. Joel then discusses sovereign immunity from enforcement, and in particular enforcement against central bank assets [TIME 41:48]. During Happy Fun Time we talk about paperless arbitration, a topic which has taken on new relevance in 2020 [01:05:19].
