Annual Update 2015 | 3

International arbitration is thriving in New York. In 2015, New York rose to the position of fifth most popular seat for ICC arbitrations worldwide, displacing Zurich. New York was selected as the arbitral seat in 47% of new U.S. ICC cases, far ahead of any other U.S. city. Reflecting the vitality of the New York international arbitration scene, NYIAC’s hearing rooms were booked over 55% of the time in 2015 and its programs attracted large audiences.

New York’s resurgence as a capital of international dispute resolution is attributable in large measure to NYIAC’s brilliant Founding Chair, Judith S. Kaye. Judge Kaye, who passed away in January 2016, galvanized and unified the New York international arbitration community. Her passing is an immeasurable loss. We have included tributes to Judge Kaye, excerpted from the New York Dispute Resolution Lawyer (Spring 2016) (pages 4-5).

Highlights from 2015 at NYIAC include:

• NYIAC welcomed two new founding firms—Foley Hoag LLP and Davis Polk LLP—bringing the number of founding firms and organizations to 41 (pages 6-7).

• We continued to highlight that New York is a leading arbitral seat where party choices are respected and international standards are the norm (pages 10-11).

• Space rentals at the NYIAC hearing center far exceeded expectations and also reflected New York’s status as a world capital for international arbitration, with clients from 18 countries and 20 U.S. states (pages 12-13).

• In May, NYIAC hosted its first Grand Central Forum, featuring Mrs Cherie Blair, CBE, QC (page 14).

• NYIAC hosted a wide range of programs, including breakfast seminars by leading academics and arbitral institution representatives (page 15).

• Under the leadership of Judge Kaye, NYIAC organized a unique Bench-Bar Dialogue with New York state and federal court judges (page 16).

• NYIAC launched a public database of New York court decisions on international arbitration—the NYIAC Case Law Library—which showcases New York courts’ support of international arbitration (page 17).

• NYIAC was enriched by international perspectives and by the participation of our individual members (pages 18-19). These accomplishments were made possible by the outstanding work of the NYIAC Board of Directors, Executive Committee, and Committee Chairs (pages 8-9).

It has been an eventful year. We invite you to join us as a member or a friend as NYIAC continues to grow in 2016 and beyond.

Judith S. Kaye

James H. Carter, Chair New York has an international arbitration “community” in large part because of Judge Judith Kaye’s good works. In this decade the lawyers in New York who practice in the field began to organize themselves to share experience and work together for the benefit of all those who use this important private justice system. Two important steps were the organization in 2010 of the International Arbitration Club of New York, of which Judge Kaye was a central member, and the creation in 2013 of the New York International Arbitration Center, which she largely created. Together, they have made the practice of international arbitration law in New York a family matter, in which lawyers interact regularly on a cooperative and not just an adversarial basis. No other international arbitration city has a center like NYIAC, supported entirely by private funding from law firms and bar association sections. Most rely on governmental financing, which would also be welcome for NYIAC but thus far has not been available. When the idea of creating an arbitration center in New York arose, Judge Kaye was the person who said, “We can do it” and then made NYIAC a reality by persuading others to join in the effort. She was the ultimately persuasive leader.

NYIAC therefore has decided to recognize Judge Kaye as its Founding Chair, to honor her with an annual Judith S. Kaye Arbitration Lecture and to display her portrait always at our Center. She brought us together as a community.

Edna Sussman, Vice-ChairJudith Kaye was a vigorous champion for the underprivileged, for youth, for justice, for gender equality (some of you will remember her red shoes campaign to promote gender equality on the judiciary) and in recent years, after leaving the bench upon reaching the New York Court of Appeals mandatory retirement age, for arbitration. I had the privilege of getting to know Judge Kaye and work with her in connection with the founding of the New York International Arbitration Center. Without her determined and consistent devotion to its creation, it never would have succeeded. When she had her eye on a goal, she went all out until it was achieved. And she had a great many diverse goals and I believe achieved them all.

She was not one who delegated but rather shouldered herself the work required. No task was too small for her to undertake. If a special skill set was required for the Center she knew somebody who could help whether it was blinds for the translators’ windows, or a PR agent, or you name it, she had a connection who was happy to help out because of their affection for Judith. And she inspired that affection in all who met her because what was unique about Judith was her persona. She had a way of making each of us feel like we were really special to her. She was the most gracious, caring, attentive person I have ever met. She was full of life and humor with a constant twinkle in her eye. Her passing is an extraordinary loss. We have lost a great leader and a great friend.

E. Alexandra Dosman, Executive Director(Remarks at the NYIAC annual reception held January 28, 2016)

“Top Ten Ways Judge Kaye Inspired the New York International Arbitration Community.”

Number 10: She saw the big picture. In 2011, she was part of a New York State Bar Association task force that called for the “establishment of a permanent center for hearings in international arbitration” in New York.

Number 9: She made it happen. She took the idea of a center and turned it into NYIAC, a bricks and mortar reality. How? She persuaded 40 law firms and two sections of the state bar association to come together and take action. Imagine that, 40 law firms agree on something? Only for Judith.

Number 8. She motivated us and inspired the best from each of us. She would ask, what is the best way to do that? And can I count on you to do it? Of course, the answer was always yes.

Number 7. She knew that details matter. For NYIAC, Judge Kaye chose the perfect color of the walls, the elegant wallpaper, and our proud blue and orange colors—the colors of the great city of New York.

Number 6. She was relentlessly curious about the law. I always looked forward to calls from Judith—and many of you no doubt received similar calls—because we would talk not about mundane things, but rather about cases, arguments, ideas. She kept herself on the cutting edge.

Number 5. She believed in young people. She was constantly meeting students and young practitioners, and encouraging them. She particularly encouraged women to follow her in pursuing leadership roles in the legal profession.

Number 4. She built bridges between her worlds, in particular between the judiciary and the international arbitration community in New York.

Number 3. She was an optimist and an innovator. She always asked, what next, what more? She believed that with hard work, smarts, and maybe a bit of red shoe magic, nothing was impossible.

Number 2. She brought the same qualities she exhibited on the bench—integrity, clarity, and fairness above all—to her work as an arbitrator. She was guided by a deep respect not only for the legal process, but also for the dignity of each and every individual who came before her.

Which brings me to the Number 1 way Judge Kaye inspired us. She brought us together as a thoroughly collegial international arbitration community. I mean that in a general way, but I also mean that it is because of her that we are here, tonight, together. So let us raise a glass to the inspirational, extraordinary, deeply loved and dearly missed, Judith S. Kaye.

Why Choose New York For International Arbitration?

• Neutral Courts that Enforce Arbitration Agreements and Awards

• Leading Arbitral Institutions, Arbitrators, Mediators and Lawyers

Choose New York

NYIAC is proud to support the work of the New York State Bar Association in creating the detailed guide, “Choose New York for International Arbitration.”

New York has a long and rich tradition of promoting international arbitration, including having hosted some of the seminal meetings that created the very fabric of modern international arbitration. Today, New York continues that tradition of leadership in international arbitration. It offers a legal framework that strongly supports international arbitration; neutral courts that consistently enforce arbitration agreements and awards with deference to arbitrators’ decisions; a vast and diverse pool of professionals with unparalleled expertise in resolving international disputes; and the infrastructure necessary to host any type of case.

In New York you can have the kind of international arbitration that you choose, from the most traditional to the most innovative, and with confidence that the courts will support that choice.

– Excerpts from “Choose New York for International Arbitration,” a detailed guide produced by the New York State Bar Association Dispute Resolution Section, International Dispute Resolution Subcommittee, and supported by the New York State Bar Association International Section and by NYIAC.

New York is a world-leading seat for international arbitration for good reason. New York has a clear legal framework that strongly supports international arbitration. New York courts are neutral, experienced and deferential to arbitration and the parties’ agreed process. A truly international city, New York has attracted legal talent from around the world. And New York boasts the legal and practical infrastructure to support every type of international arbitration case.


Choose New York

“New York continues to be one of the most popular legal seats and locales for the actual conduct of arbitration. Why is that? Because New York has the best of everything that users consistently list in survey after survey as the factors they look for in selecting a seat and locale for arbitration.”

– Edna Sussman Independent Arbitrator, SussmanADR

“We had hearings spanning almost three weeks in a complex case involving simultaneous translation and video-conference testimony from outside the US. The physical facilities accommodated a large number of counsel, witnesses, and corporate observers as well as teams of translators. In addition, break-out space was convenient, and the NYIAC staff were always helpful and gracious.”

“Recently, I served as a member of an ICC tribunal, which held a two-week hearing at the New York International Arbitration Center, located very conveniently in mid-town Manhattan. It was an extremely good venue choice: the “state-of–the art” Hearing Room was spacious, light and airy, comfortable, and acoustically superb. The staff was courteous and very responsive to our logistical and administrative requests. I enjoyed the time spent at the hearing. In short, NYIAC proved to be an impressive location for our arbitration.” – Hon. Bernard J. Fried (Ret.)

Grand Central Forum

On April 16, 2015, the inaugural NYIAC Grand Central Forum brought together business, legal and diplomatic leaders from the New York City region to discuss key issues in the resolution of high-value international disputes. Speakers addressed developments and unpublished statistics from the leading institutions that administer international arbitrations. Further key topics addressed conflicts of interest in international arbitration and how arbitral awards against sovereign states are being enforced in United States courts. The keynote featured Mrs Cherie Blair, CBE, QC, a specialist in international dispute resolution and an expert on the intersection of business and human rights issues, in conversation with John Pierce of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale & Dorr LLP. Mrs Blair addressed the topic “Managing Risk in Cross-Border Disputes” with reference to arbitration disputes and strategies concerning both commercial and sovereign state parties.

“The system of international arbitration plays a key role in upholding the rule of law – all parties, including governments, are held to account by a fair and impartial process.” – Cherie Blair, CBE, QC

“If we’re going to wait for natural selection to make a difference to women that are going to become [law firm] partners, it’s going to take until 2115…. Frankly guys, we can’t wait that long.” – Cherie Blair, CBE, QC

Judicial CollaborationOver 90 years ago, the American Law Institute (ALI) began formulating restatements for the purpose of fostering clarity, consistency and coherence in the law, along with an element of reform as appropriate. For the first time, a Restatement of the U.S. Law of International Commercial Arbitration is in progress.

On October 20, 2015, NYIAC co-sponsored a unique “Bench-Bar Dialogue” on the Restatement for the New York judiciary. The program featured Professor George A. Bermann of Columbia Law School, chief reporter of the Restatement, in conversation with John Pierce, head of

International Arbitration in the New York office of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale & Dorr LLP. The current status of the project was discussed, noting major issues that have stirred debate and occasional controversy. The event also featured a “Q&A” between members of the New York judiciary and Professor Bermann on the judicial role in international commercial arbitration generally. The program, which was held at the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, was co-sponsored by the American Law Institute and the International Council for Commercial Arbitration.

Case Law LibraryOn January 1, 2015, NYIAC began collecting and cataloguing international arbitration decisions issued by New York courts. Now those decisions – and key identifying information such as the decision date, the stage of the case, and the main issues treated by the court – are available on the NYIAC website. Importantly, each entry contains a public link to the decision itself, made available by Fastcase, a modern legal research tool. There is no need to log into PACER or other subscription-based service.

The NYIAC Case Law Library presently stands at more than eighty New York state and federal decisions involving a panoply of arbitral seats, applicable laws, and judicial relief sought. Several key decisions involve sovereign states or their instrumentalities. The database provides key information for each decision, as well as a short summary of the decision’s main holdings. Significantly, the NYIAC Case Law Library, in conjunction with Fastcase, provides public links to each decision so that users may easily access these rulings.

The NYIAC Case Law Library testifies to the quality and quantity of international arbitration decisions by New York courts. The majority of the jurisprudence arises under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. New York state and federal courts have demonstrated keen awareness of the limited nature of judicial review under the Federal Arbitration Act, especially in international cases. The 2015 jurisprudence is no different. In motions to compel arbitration, the courts have adhered to the parties’ agreement. Recent jurisprudence from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals has illuminated the proper judicial procedure when all claims are referred to arbitration and a stay has been requested.

As for enforcement of international arbitral awards, New York courts continue to grant significant deference to arbitrators, and, perhaps as a result, a number of enforcement actions in 2015 were unopposed. The 2015 jurisprudence has also put the New York courts at the cutting edge of investor-state arbitration.

A core pillar of NYIAC’s mission is contributing to legal education and research. With the Case Law Library, New York jurisprudence on international arbitration is now easy to access, analyze, and discuss.
