Working Session 8

Counsel’s Role in International Arbitration Proceedings

Whether you are an outside or an in-house counsel, your main task in international arbitration proceedings is to present (or to ensure that outside counsel presents) your case to the arbitral tribunal in the best way possible to secure a positive outcome.

However, the end does not always justify the means. Besides tactical considerations, in his/her interaction with the client, the opposing party and its counsel, the arbitral tribunal as well as potential witnesses and experts, counsel must obey certain ethics rules. What those rules are, their nature and whether they apply to outside counsel and in-house counsel alike will be explored in depth in the National Reports, the General Report and this working session.

This working session will also address potential remedies for misconduct and discuss whether an international level playing field is emerging. In that respect a focus will be placed on the relevance of the recently published and much discussed IBA Guidelines on Party Representation in International Arbitration.

This working session will moreover place a particular emphasis on the critical interaction between outside counsel and in-house counsel, as particularly delicate ethical issues may arise in this interaction. The respective roles of outside counsel and in-house counsel thus merit a closer look.
