Our latest episode of A Matter of Reputation is live — and this is Part 1 of the conversation.
Byfield Founder Gus Sellitto speaks to Peter Ashford, Chair of London Arbitration Week and independent arbitrator, and Artem Doudko, partner in Osborne Clarke’s Dispute Resolution practice, about a central question: who really speaks for arbitration?
The discussion is grounded in Who Speaks for Arbitration? — a strategic report by Byfield — and explores how the narrative around arbitration is being shaped beyond the legal community.
They discuss:
– why arbitration, despite being a global tool, remains poorly understood by many businesses
– the need to communicate its benefits — including confidentiality and finality — more clearly
– how concerns around transparency could be addressed, including through anonymised awards
– what is holding the arbitration community back from more visible and effective public engagement
A key takeaway: arbitration works well — but its value is diminished if it is not clearly understood by those who need to use it.
