An Investment in International Arbitration: Tea with Claus von Wobeser
To say that Claus von Wobeser took a road less traveled to his exemplary career in international arbitration is an understatement. Gaela and Nicole take time for tea with international arbitration leader Claus von Wobeser, covering a range of issues, from his unusual beginnings in the field of international arbitration, to being on the ground floor of a legal field in its nascency, growing international arbitration in Mexico, the importance of embracing beneficial technology, concerns and cautious hope about the future of the Mexican judiciary, and an exhortation for international arbitration practitioners to embrace page limits.

A Disappearing Act? Mexican Judicial Reform and its Impact on International Arbitration
Gaela and Nicole – along with special guest, Diego Duran de la Vega of Hughes Hubbard & Reed – interview Mexican Federal Judges Angelica Ortuño Suarez, Hilda Elizabeth Plascencia Carrasco, Marlene Angeles Tovar about the sweeping judicial reform that is planned for the Mexican judiciary over the next years. Perhaps the most striking aspect of the reform is subjecting all of Mexico’s Federal Judges to election by popular vote. While there are many unknowns with respect to the exact implementation of the reform, one thing is certain: uncertainty. We dive into the uncertainty, what this means for the current judicial bench, the future of the Mexican courts, and whether this might signify a great shift away from Mexican courts and toward international arbitration.
