What makes an expert witness effective?

It’s not a simple case of expertise, but the ability to make the complex, clear, credible, and understood.

That's why we've published our new report, Party-Appointed Expert Witnesses in International Arbitration: Effectiveness and Best Practice.

Shaped by two years of practitioner feedback and global survey insights, the report examines how expert evidence is used, communicated, and understood in international arbitration.

It offers adaptable guidance for tribunals, counsel, parties, and expert witnesses in one of arbitration’s most contested areas.

Because good evidence should not only be heard, it should be understood.

Since its foundation some roughly a thousand years ago, Oxford has educated some of the world’s finest minds.

And Ciarb has just added to that number!

This year’s Global Diploma in International Arbitration, taught in person at the University of Oxford, is drawing to a close but several spaces are still available for September 2027.

We’d like to congratulate all our students on their hard work this year and wish them the very best of luck in their future endeavors.

We’d also like to thank our Diploma Director Dr Crina Baltag, FCIArb and all the staff who make the Global Diploma in International Arbitration possible.

Disputes are more complex than ever.

That’s why we’ve gone to great efforts to establish the best practice for the use of expert witnesses in ADR; because how we understand the facts matters.

We believe it is the duty of all practitioners to provide fair and well-informed judgements when they are called upon to do so.

We believe that our latest report, Party-Appointed Expert Witnesses in International Arbitration: Effectiveness and Best Practice, will help make this aspiration a reality.

Our report is free to all those that want to read it.

This year’s Alexander lecture will be given by none other than Ambassador Ret. Roberto Azevêdo FCIArb.

Roberto is the former director-general of the World Trade Organizsation, lawyer, former ambassador and a dispute resolution practitioner of unimpeachable repute.

As you might expect from someone who has spent their career resolving disagreements between nations, his lecture will have a similarly international focus.

Taking one's first steps in a new career can be a nerve-wracking experience, but it doesn't have to be that way.

We sat down with our unflappable Policy & Professional Practice Intern, Elene Kalandiia, to talk ADR, studying law, Ciarb internships, and the best ways to start a career in arbitration.

As anyone who's ever worked with her knows, Elene is a consummate professional who's headed for great things. That's why we're pleased to announce that alongside her internship with Ciarb, Elene has secured a training contract with Baker McKenzie, which she will begin after completing the SQE.

We'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate Elene on securing a position with a top-tier firm and to congratulate Baker McKenzie on making such an excellent choice.
