Two well-known international arbitrators in New York, Jean Kalicki and Lucy Reed, have just helped launch the New York office of a global arbitrator network called Arbitration Chambers.
Arbitration Chambers has an uncommon approach, as it operates as a network for independent arbitrators to share administrative and office expenses, Kalicki said in an interview. The network provides administrative support by supplying office equipment, office space and by hiring assistants for the arbitrators who could serve as a type of law clerk. In return, arbitrators provide a percentage of their case revenue to the network.
The chamber's members remain independent and do not share information about matters before them. Kalicki said she's not aware of an international arbitrator network in New York with the same approach. "I think this is the first international arbitrator's network in the U.S. period," she said.
