I have completed the training workshop for Arbitrators, and the training workshop for Mediators of Intellectual Property Disputes, conducted by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Arbitration and Mediation Center, and I serve on that body’s Panel of Neutrals.
I’m a practitioner member of LEADR – Association of Dispute Resolvers, and an Associate of the Charter Institute of Arbitrators.
