From 1 May, Twenty Essex welcomes Nigel Rawding QC. After almost 40 years at international law firm Freshfields, he is retiring from the partnership and moving to chambers as a full-time arbitrator.
Nigel is rightly recognised as a leading figure in international arbitration. He is a director of the LCIA and a member of the ICC UK Commission on Arbitration.
Nigel’s expertise will complement and further enhance the set’s leading status and reputation in international arbitration.
Duncan Matthews QC and Stephen Atherton QC, co-heads of Twenty Essex, commented: 'Nigel will make a seamless transition to being a pre-eminent international commercial arbitrator and we are delighted he has chosen to do so at Twenty Essex. He has the whole skill set required. Parties and practitioners alike will be fortunate indeed to secure his services for the resolution of their disputes, and he will be a joy to work with for his co-arbitrators.'
