The Roebuck Lecture titled 'Damages and Remedies - Responsibilities and Reputation' will be delivered by Sir Robin Knowles CBE.

The Roebuck Lecture will be delivered in-person at Ciarb Headquarters in London and streamed live for our global audience.

"In commercial and international arbitrations some awards have become vast. 

The consequences can be enormous for a business or a state’s economy. Uncertainty over scale can prevent or force a settlement, and then, there may be collateral damage. 

When it comes to the responsibility of in-house counsel, legal representatives, arbitration funders, expert witnesses, and arbitrators – is it clear what is required? 

Arbitration is needed more than ever, but its reputation is at stake if we don’t get this right. And, as ever, the relationship between our courts and ADR mechanisms is pivotal."

Sir Robin Knowles CBE

In this timely, and highly anticipated lecture, Sir Robin Knowles will explore how we should look at quantum, and the room for other remedies too.
