SEASON 4 FINALE: Mike Mcilwrath, MDisputes
Friday Nov 04, 2022
Friday Nov 04, 2022
In this final submission for Season 4 of Tales of the Tribunal, we got out with a BANG! We sit down with one of the pioneers of podcasting in the legal space and especially in the international legal community – Mike Mcilwrath. You might also know him as the former head of global litigation at Baker Hughes and one of the head litigators at GE and now the founder of MDisputes, a company dedicated to helping companies resolving their disputes better. He also plays a mean guitar and has an encyclopedic knowledge of Jazz.
It’s a fun conversation from start to finish that is as much about life and perspective as it is about international arbitration. Mike’s own podcast was part of the inspiration for this show and it was great to have him stop by the show. He even brought his own equipment!
So, kick your feet up, and relax this is a fun one, brought to you from somewhere in the Tuscan Hills near Florence!!

Conducting surveys is hard. Conducting surveys with a group of international lawyers is even harder. Which is what makes the work that Professor Loukas Mistelis and his colleagues and the Queen Mary University of London even more impressive. Year after year this team of dedicated individuals manages to put together insightful and empirical research related to trends in international arbitration. Its so critical that its cited by scholars and tribunals. During this conversation we take a look into that process and what is in the future for the survey.

They talk about the experience of launching the show and about new initiatives they have coming up—

The Arbitration Lunch Match - Ulrike Gantenberg and Lisa Reiser
Thursday Jul 14, 2022
Thursday Jul 14, 2022
During the days of the pandemic it was really hard and often impossible to see people face-to-face. Long stretches of time meant less socialization and less opportunity to meet others in your professional field. Well this week’s guests – Ulrike Gantenberg and Lisa Reiser – weren’t going to accept that and founded a dynamic new initiative called Arbitration Lunch Match which set the table (pun intended) for women across the globe to meet other women in their field and located in their city. With each iteration they have grown exponentially with the next big wave coming in the Fall – it has been a boon for diversity, relationship building and the human spirit.
