Arbitral Women: Mutual Mentorship: Learning from Each Other

Arbitration practice is evolving rapidly. AI-assisted research, digital evidence, hybrid hearings, and shifting client expectations are reshaping how practitioners work – yet core principles like judgment, credibility, and ethics remain foundational. This panel reframes the traditional “junior versus senior” narrative, exploring mutual mentorship as a strategic response to disruption. Through cross-generational dialogue, panelists will examine how technological fluency and seasoned judgment can combine to strengthen the profession. Topics include AI integration, advocacy in hybrid environments, professional risk management, and evolving career pressures – particularly for early-career practitioners. This will include mention of the Equal Representation in Arbitration (ERA) and Equal Representation for Experts Witnesses (ERE) Pledges.

Speakers: Chloe Snider (Dentons LLP), Andrew Parley (Lenczner Slaght), Joanne Luu (Burnet, Duckworth & Palmer LLP), Louise Barrington (FCIArb) and Tara Singh (ArbitralWomen).
