Day 21 of Signature’s Slide Show series – 2020 has been the year of diversity and ecology
30 January 2021
Lucy Greenwood’s Green Pledge was granted the Global Arbitration Review award for the best development. The ICCA’s 2020 Task Force statistics on diversity show an increase in the proportion of women appointed as arbitrators from 12.2% in 2015 to 21.3% in 2019 (almost twice more!). We also note the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) was nominated as the institution appointing the most female arbitrators.But the need for diversity obviously goes beyond gender. Other new initiatives have emerged. The R.E.A.L. – Racial Equality for Arbitration Lawyers is certainly an initiative to follow!
