I should like to congratulate my colleague, Caroline Kenny QC, on her election as President of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators in Australia (see Top QC elected President of Australian global arbitration body 30 May 2017). Caroline is one of several distinguished international tenants of 4-5 Gray's Inn Square.

We have a distinguished team of arbitrators and mediators based in the United Kingdom of which I am one.  I specialize in resolving intellectual property and technology disputes and am a member of the WIPO's panel of neutrals. I am also on the IPO's list of mediation providers.

Finally, the London branch of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators is holding a seminar on ADR and film disputes at the offices of Herbert Smith Freehills at Exchange House, Primrose Street, London EC2A 2EG between 18:00 and 20:00 this evening. The speakers will be Edward Cullen QC, Andrew Hildebrand, Alan Watts and Daniel Djanogly and the meeting will be chaired by James Farrell. If you wish to attend please email Elinor Pritchard at the Virtual Partnership as soon as possible.
