This website should not be relied on as a complete or updated source of disclosure information.  I do not disclose the identity of parties in matters handled as a neutral and do not have access to the databases of my prior law firms.  Further, I am a member of various organizations and attend many conferences and events and do not maintain records of fellow members, speakers or participants, nor do I monitor contact lists on LinkedIn and similar sites. Contacts or connections in such contexts should not be considered to be relationships that might affect impartiality or independence in the eyes of a reasonable third party. (Canon II, Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes, American Bar Association (2004); General Standard 2, International Bar Association Guidelines for Conflicts of Interest in Commercial Arbitration (2014)).

Any party in an arbitration for which I am proposed as an arbitrator should promptly disclose any facts or circumstances considered relevant to my impartiality or independence as soon as that information is reasonably available and, for that purpose, should undertake a reasonable continuing search of publicly available information promptly after learning of my prospective appointment as arbitrator.
