Date: 21 October 2013

Venue: Centre de Conférence de Paris Trocadéro

The CCIAG is organizing the First CCIAG conference jointly with the ICC Institute for World Business Law. This conference will address the burning topic of the choice of arbitrator. A highly selective panel of speakers will address the concerns of corporate counsels as to the legitimacy of arbitrators in the paradoxical context of a globalized arbitration market devoid of transparent and straightforward access to the necessary data to make that crucial choice.

The IMI and the CCIAG have agreed to collaborate

The CCIAG and the IMI to collaborate.

On March 13th, the IMI and the CCIAG have decided to collaborate in their future projects. Having agreed that both organizations share a common concern for the users of dispute resolution services transcending the fields (or the markets) of mediation or arbitration, the CCIAG and the IMI have undertaken to act jointly, with their respective specialization for the benefit of the users.

The International Mediation Institute (IMI) is a charitable foundation established in The Hague which aims at certifying mediators and promoting mediation worldwide. It is the only organization in the world to transcend local jurisdictions to develop global, professional standards for experienced mediators, advocates and others involved in collaborative dispute resolution and negotiation processes

Ms Hautot commented on the collaboration between the two organizations as follows:

“Both CCIAG and IMI are non-provider, corporate-led organizations in the global dispute resolution space and their missions are complementary. As companies increasingly move to multi-tiered dispute resolution clauses and press courts and arbitration tribunals for more effective dispute resolution processes, so mediation becomes increasingly important to litigation and arbitration. The collaboration announced today is an important step that will help both organizations achieve their respective goals. That is particularly true for the CCIAG which advocates and works toward a better understanding of the users’ actual needs, and focuses on efficient conflict management and resolution as its main objectives. I look forward to serving on the IMI Board and to a most productive relationship.”

Ute Joas Quinn, of Hess Corporation and Chair of IMI added:

“The Board of IMI has long admired the efforts of CCIAG and warmly welcomes this alliance and Isabelle Hautot’s appointment to the Board. This will significantly strengthen and accelerate the expression of User needs and expectations, as well as User influence, in the development of mediation and other forms of non-litigious conflict management and dispute resolution worldwide.”
