Season 6 Episode 3 - The Maritime Arbitration

Brian is in Dubai on (arbitration) business and we are all amazed that things are returning to normal, at least for the time being. Saadia opens up the episode with a much-overdue segment on burden of proof/standard of proof [TIME 10:37]. We then speak to James Clanchy, independent arbitrator and Honorary Secretary of the London Maritime Arbitrators Association, about maritime arbitration [TIME 34:43]. This week’s Happy Fun Time [TIME 01:10:58] is about post-pandemic networking - what has changed?

Season 4 Episode 3 - The Third Co-Host

There are three of us! Saadia Bhatty is the new co-host and enters the podcast with full force. This historic episode begins with a discussion about the largest arbitral awards in history [TIME: 11:11], followed by Saadia’s premier segment: institutional v. ad hoc arbitration [TIME 34:05]. For Happy Fun Time, we use World Mental Health Day as a reason to discuss lawyers’ mental health with Elizabeth Rimmer from Lawcare [TIME 1:01:00].

[In the discussion on largest awards, Joel is wrong about the costs ordered in the Yukos arbitration: in fact, the state was ordered to pay some $60 million in costs and fees]
