Arbitrator

As a decision-maker, I am focused on the need for disputes to be resolved fairly and efficiently.

I have acted and am acting both as sole arbitrator and co-arbitrator in arbitrations under the ICC and DIAC Rules, as well as independent neutral in ad hoc expert determination proceedings. In doing so, I have made decisions applying both English common law and the civil laws of the Middle East.

These proceedings have included:

  • Contracts for the sale and distribution of pharmaceuticals between India and Africa.

  • Investment in a cryptocurrency mining business.

  • Claims related to construction work on a military air base.

  • A contractor’s claims for extensions of time and direct and indirect costs related to construction of fire safety facilities related to a large offshore energy development.

  • Claims related to a major regional FMCG distribution agreement.

  • Claims related to sponsorship of a real estate television show broadcast across the Middle East region.

  • Expedited proceedings and requests for urgent interim relief.
