Equal Representation in Arbitration Pledge

Date: 1 June 2016

The “Equal Representation in Arbitration” Pledge was launched in May 2016 and we are pleased to announce that Keating Chambers are are corporate signatory to the pledge. There are also a number of members and staff who have signed the pledge in an individual capacity.

The Pledge has two objectives. First, it aims to improve the profile and representation of women in international arbitration. Second, it seeks the appointment of women as arbitrators on an equal opportunity basis. The Pledge recognises that, while there are many well-qualified women arbitrator candidates, they often lack visibility, with arbitrators frequently appointed from a relatively small pool of mostly male arbitrators.
