Ng Jern-Fei, KC
Developing a global career is uniquely difficult task. Doing that while building a reputation as an experienced Kingâs Counsel is even more amazing - In this episode of Tales of the Tribunal, we sit down with Jern-Fei Ng, a King's Counsel and barrister with a truly global practice spanning multiple jurisdictions including London, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Hong Kong. Jern-Fei shares insights into his journey from initially uncertain career ambitions to becoming an international arbitration specialist, describing himself as an "accidental" practitioner. The episode delves into Jern-Feiâs diverse legal experience, his involvement in multiple arbitration centers, and the influence of Singapore as a leading hub for international dispute resolution. Jern-Fei also offers candid advice for aspiring legal professionals, discusses the future of arbitration, and shares his thoughts on avoiding the pitfalls of "defensive arbitrating" and over-reliance on PowerPoint/Demonstratives in legal advocacy. The conversation touches on the importance of versatility, mentorship, and the role of language in international law.

Loretta Malintoppi
Inspiration comes to us at many times in our lives and in many forms. For Loretta Malintoppi, that spark came early and from a source close to home, her family, for what she would ultimately dedicate her life to. That is international legal practice across a number of disciplines and locations. She currently resides in Singapore where she regularly serves as arbitrator in investor-state matters and commercial arbitrations. We caught up with her at ICCA Hong Kong for a break from the conference. Enjoy the episode!

Alexander Fessas, ICC
Alexander Fessas has been walking the halls of the ICC Court of Arbitration for more than a decade where he has worn many hats from Deputy to Managing Counsel and for the last half decade -- Secretary General. He has also been an active voice and dynamic figure in the field the world over.

She is part of a generation of senior practitioners in the country that is raising the reputation for the legal professionals in the field and for Portugalâs place in the international commercial community.

In this final submission for Season 4 of Tales of the Tribunal, we got out with a BANG! We sit down with one of the pioneers of podcasting in the legal space and especially in the international legal community â Mike Mcilwrath. You might also know him as the former head of global litigation at Baker Hughes and one of the head litigators at GE and now the founder of MDisputes, a company dedicated to helping companies resolving their disputes better. He also plays a mean guitar and has an encyclopedic knowledge of Jazz.
Itâs a fun conversation from start to finish that is as much about life and perspective as it is about international arbitration. Mikeâs own podcast was part of the inspiration for this show and it was great to have him stop by the show. He even brought his own equipment!
So, kick your feet up, and relax this is a fun one, brought to you from somewhere in the Tuscan Hills near Florence!!

Conducting surveys is hard. Conducting surveys with a group of international lawyers is even harder. Which is what makes the work that Professor Loukas Mistelis and his colleagues and the Queen Mary University of London even more impressive. Year after year this team of dedicated individuals manages to put together insightful and empirical research related to trends in international arbitration. Its so critical that its cited by scholars and tribunals. During this conversation we take a look into that process and what is in the future for the survey.

Over the past several years new content, shows and media have been created in order to encourage more dynamic and engaging conversations in international arbitration. Practitioners of all ages have realized the value in having these non-traditional platforms is a great way to demystify the field and bring new comers into it.
Thatâs exactly what junior practitioners Ryme Elaoufi and Giada MulĂš have done when they launched The Arb Talk â a program focused on covering topics in international arbitration and featuring new voices and perspectives in the field. They talk about the experience of launching the show and about new initiatives they have coming upâ
So, sit back, relax and enjoy my conversation with Ryme and Giada of The Arb Talk!

During the days of the pandemic it was really hard and often impossible to see people face-to-face. Long stretches of time meant less socialization and less opportunity to meet others in your professional field. Well this weekâs guests â Ulrike Gantenberg and Lisa Reiser â werenât going to accept that and founded a dynamic new initiative called Arbitration Lunch Match which set the table (pun intended) for women across the globe to meet other women in their field and located in their city. With each iteration they have grown exponentially with the next big wave coming in the Fall â it has been a boon for diversity, relationship building and the human spirit.

The topic of investor-states disputes is one that has continued to gain regular attention and interest from both practitioners and those outside of the legal community alike. Because the disputes involved can touch on topics of public interest the professionals that actually work in the field are often at the forefront of shaping the best practices and standards for the practice area.
Fernando Tupa is one of those professionals as he regularly works on investor-state and commercial arbitration matters. He also has written articles on arbitrator and counsel ethics and maintaining the integrity of the field, which is why were glad to have him the digital studio this week. We talked about a number of topics that you wonât want to miss, so enjoy the show and let us know what you think!

SEASON 4 PREMIER
As the world began to visualize a world where Covid-19 may fade into the rear view, a new global disaster looemd, somehow even more unimaginable. In February 2022, Russia declared war on Ukraine and invaded its neighbor, killing thousands, devastating countless lives and turning global economies and politics upside down.
In the wake of this military aggression, and bolstered by grit and courage, many Ukrainians found ways to continue on with their lives, in particular law students who had been preparing for the Vis international arbitration moot who now had a wholly new set of challenges to contend with...and yet, they did.
In this week's episode, you'll hear from two students and their coaches about what their lives have been like, since the invasion, during the moot and what comes next.
Many thanks to the guests:
Olha Kaliuzhna

The words âOnline Dispute Resolutionâ might evoke images of innovation from the Covid-19 era or perhaps sound like the newest service offered by Facebook or Google. But in actuality, the practice dates back decades, to the early days of the internet. As the name it implies, it is the means by which consumersâdisputants can bring resolve their disputes without ever being in the same room.
Colin Rule has been a pioneer in the development of this practice area and has seen it evolve from its inception to being a hallmark of the dispute resolution field. He is also the guest, for this final episode of Season 3 of Tales of the Tribunal. He shares perspective, insights and even a bit of forward-looking on the world of ODR. Itâs a great conversation to end the season on and we hope you enjoy!

Whether youâre winning championships or building businesses, those who have been successful often say that the first one is the hardest one to getâthat advice also applies in the world of international arbitration.

One organization, the Rising Arbitratorâs Initiative, wants to help the next generation or arbitrators get that foothold. Although founded just last year, the group is already making waves which is why we sat down with the three members of their executive committeeâ ANA GERDAU DE BORJA MERCEREAU, ALEXANDER G. LEVENTHAL, and ROCĂO DIGĂNâto have a conversation. Check it out:

A couple of years ago musical artist Jay Z made a very public complaint about the lack of Black-American arbitrators available to appoint in a dispute he was involved inâthat complaint got a lot of people thinking. Several years later, that thinking has culminated in a new listâBlack arbitration professionals with a US Connection (a big title for a big idea) â pioneered by Dr. Katherine Simpson and Ms. Nancy Thevenin, the idea brought together a group of people like never before.
That most recent accomplishment is just one of many in the story of this weekâs, and Season 2âs final guest, Nancy Thevenin. Nancy has worked in private practice, as a deputy director at the ICC, as a corporate counsel and maintains her own practice as a neutral. She tells the story of her journey through each of those positions and how each has shaped her professional identity.
What a dynamic and striking end to Season 2, enjoy the show!

When American lawyers graduate from law school, they attain a Juris Doctor, but none of them usually go by "Doctor" unless they get a PhD in law or some other field. What if that other field was...Medicine? What if the lawyer pursued that path after nearly a decade practicing international arbitration around the world?
That is exactly the story of this week's guest, Shareif Abdelwahab of Baker Hughes. Who is leaving the practice of law to start Medical School this fall.
Tune in, and hear his story!

BACK after 6 months of hiatus!
This season was supposed to start by spending several weeks focused on the Vis Moot, however, given the current global events, we pivoted to more timely topics--
Season 2 instead starts with an interview with Mr. Hafez Virjee of Delos Dispute Resolution. Delos is an arbitral institution dedicated to filling the gaps that may be overlooked in traditional practice and was one of the early adopters of online dispute resolution, in particular, during the Covid-19 Outbreak. Some resources and references are made during the show, so check it out, and we look forward to bringing you a whole new season of Tales every Thursday!
