Independent Arbitrator
I act as sole arbitrator, presiding arbitrator, co-arbitrator, and legal expert in international commercial disputes. My practice is guided by independence, ethics, procedural fairness, and clarity of reasoning.
My work combines arbitral practice with sustained academic engagement in international commercial law, comparative contract law, and sports law. I bring disciplined legal analysis, sensitivity to different legal traditions, and a commitment to efficient dispute resolution.

Professional Philosophy
I believe that valuable legal work combines intellectual discipline with practical judgment. Whether acting as arbitrator, lecturer, or author, my aim is to approach legal problems with ethics, seriousness, clarity, and fairness — attentive to their broader human and commercial context.
International legal practice demands not only knowledge, but also the ability to listen carefully, decide ethically, and communicate with precision.
