What is your role at the DIS?
As Counsel at the DIS, I combine a legal perspective with a passion for organisation and coordination. As part of the DIS Case Management Team, I support arbitration proceedings using DIS Arbitration Rules and help ensure their smooth and effective administration. In my role, I also serve as the link between the parties and arbitral tribunals on the one hand, and the Arbitration Council and Appointing Committee of the DIS on the other.
What path led you to the DIS?
Having spent the final stage of my legal traineeship in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, I came across numerous arbitration clauses in contracts between international companies. This sparked my curiosity about what happens when disputes actually arise and how arbitration works in practice.
