Forthcoming events

This Seminar will explore these questions, through the experience of three established practitioners,  but from different standpoints. John Rushton is the Arbitrational Consultant with ICC UK and will give an account of the workings of the ICC including opportunities to participate in their activities and those of the Paris Head Office. John is a former Partner in a City law firm which has acted for many clients in major domestic and international arbitrations. Chris Dancaster is a Chartered Surveyor whose practice developed from local authority work to freelance work as an Expert, Arbitrator and latterly as an Adjudicator, who is well aware of the need to maintain a “client base” while also keeping a reputation for absolute independence in decision-making. John Uff has worked both as a Civil Engineer and latterly as a Barrister, initially taking on engineering arbitrations through the ICE and subsequently moving into the international field which now accounts for a large proportion of his arbitration work. He also regularly undertakes substantial adjudications but also sees many of his former students from the Centre of Construction Law at King’s College making careers for themselves as Arbitrators, Adjudicators and Expert Witnesses.
