Dr. Maxi Scherer, Special Counsel at Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP and co-author of Arbitrating Under the 2014 LCIA Rules - a User's Guide (Kluwer 2015), interviews Dr. Jacomijn van Haersolte-van Hof, Director General of the London Court of International Arbitration. In a 30-minute conversation Dr. Van Haersolte-van Hof reflects on the highlights and challenges of the last year in her role at the LCIA and takes stock of the new LCIA Rules, one year after their launch. She expands on what are the most compelling selling points for arbitration in London and the cultural differences she encounters when presenting the LCIA around the world. She and Dr. Scherer also consider what the future holds for international commercial arbitration in ten or twenty years’ time.
