SVAMC-Y: Mauricio Duarte, Nathan Aduddell, Viktor Rykov

The tech-industry is one of the fastest industries across the globe.  From AI, to Crypto, to how we live and work. Technology is every where!  And where there is interest, there are also disputes, in particular, arbitration!  On this week’s episode we welcome Mauricio Duarte, Nathan Auddell, Viktor Rykov and (Me)  - leaders of the SVAMC-Y to talk about their experience in tech and importantly, what is going on with the organization.

Long time listeners will recall that we had the SVAMC-Y leaders on the show back in season two.  Its a fast conversation where you’ll hopefully learn a bit about tech and how you can get involved with the organization.

Dr. Dorothee Scrhamm, Arbitrator

Giving people platforms is what we’re all about here at Tales of the Tribunal, which is exactly the reason we were excited to give a platform to someone who is giving others a platform.  Dr. Dorothee Schramm is one of the co-founders of The The Global Tribunal Secretary Platform, a new initiative meant to give greater transparency and exposure to the tribunal secretary platform.  She is also a active independent arbitrator and is active in commercial and technology spaces across the globe.  We caught up during the ICCA Congress for a fun and candid conversation.  Check it out!

Loretta Malintoppi

Inspiration comes to us at many times in our lives and in many forms.  For Loretta Malintoppi, that spark came early and from a source close to home, her family, for what she would ultimately dedicate her life to.  That is international legal practice across a number of disciplines and locations.  She currently resides in Singapore where she regularly serves as arbitrator in investor-state matters and commercial arbitrations.  We caught up with her at ICCA Hong Kong for a break from the conference. Enjoy the episode!
