Legal 500 Arbitration Powerlist 2022

TrialView sponsored the Legal 500 Arbitration Powerlist 2022, held at the IAC, London. This annual list recognises the top private practice lawyers who have excelled in their respective areas of expertise.

This annual initiative serves a vital role in the legal ecosystem by identifying and celebrating the leading private practice lawyers who have demonstrated exceptional expertise and achieved remarkable success in the complex world of arbitration.

For TrialView, this sponsorship was a natural alignment of values. We are deeply committed to fostering and promoting excellence within the legal profession, and supporting this Powerlist is a direct reflection of that mission. The event recognised the great importance of adaptability within the legal industry, not only in terms of embracing wider use of technology but accommodation to other aspects of the practice such as working arrangement and international travel. We understand the immense dedication, strategic acumen, and hard work required to excel in this field, and we are incredibly proud to help shine a spotlight on the outstanding individuals named to this year's list.

Sponsorship in a Context of Evolution

Our support for this initiative comes at a pivotal moment for arbitration in the United Kingdom. Recent proposals by the Law Commission to amend the Arbitration Act 1996 highlight a concerted effort to not only strengthen the powers of arbitration tribunals but also to modernise and streamline the dispute resolution process itself. A key point of ongoing consultation, for instance, is whether explicit powers should be granted to tribunals to order remote hearings and the use of electronic documentation.

This evolving landscape underscores a critical reality: the choice of technology platform for arbitral proceedings is no longer a minor logistical detail but a strategically significant decision. As the industry grapples with these changes, the need for robust, secure, and intuitive digital solutions has never been greater.

The TrialView Platform: Engineered for the Demands of Modern Arbitration

It is within this context that TrialView’s award-winning platform for international disputes delivers tangible value. Our comprehensive suite of tools is designed to address the very challenges and opportunities presented by modern arbitration, including case management tools that allow for real time collaboration through a cloud based server, case preparation tools that use AI insights to build case timelines amongst other vital tools making the arbitration world more adaptable.

Our platform’s greatest strength lies in the empathy underpinning its design. Founded by Stephen Dowling, a Commercial Silk, TrialView is built from a unique perspective that synthesises the

needs of all users, from the advocates and legal teams to the ultimate decision-makers. Features like secure digital breakout rooms for panels and the capacity to tag evidence as it is presented are designed to emulate, and often augment, the structure and feel of a physical hearing.

A Partnership Rooted in Understanding and Support

We fundamentally understand that arbitration is founded on the principles of party autonomy and procedural flexibility. This philosophy extends to our service model. Our dedicated support team, composed of legally trained professionals, can manage as much or as little of the technical process as desired, ensuring the technology serves the procedure, not the other way around. This combination of powerful technology and expert, empathetic support has been commended in high-profile, complex global disputes.

As the dynamic international arbitration community continues to flourish, TrialView remains dedicated to being a catalyst for its success. We would like to extend our sincerest congratulations once more to every lawyer honoured with inclusion in The Legal 500’s Arbitration Powerlist 2022. We look forward to continuing our support of this community and to partnering with its leaders to drive further innovation and excellence in the field.
