Independence, conflict-checked
The appointment is accepted only after a clean conflict check.
Appointment of Khaled Aun as a certified arbitrator in commercial matters, a role kept separate and conflict-checked from the firm's advocacy work.
When parties choose arbitration, the value of the process depends on the arbitrator. Khaled Aun is a certified arbitrator and accepts appointments as a neutral in commercial disputes. This is a distinct role from the firm's work as counsel: it is conflict-checked, independent, and run with the procedural discipline the parties are entitled to expect.
As arbitrator, the role is independence: the same discipline the firm brings as counsel - documents first, structure separated from story, each position tested - applied from the neutral chair. The process is run to be fair and efficient, and the award is reasoned so it holds up. Every appointment is conflict-checked against the firm's matters before it is accepted.
The appointment is accepted only after a clean conflict check.
The neutral applies the same rigour the firm is known for as counsel.
The process and the award are built to hold up.
Not applicable. This is a neutral appointment role, conflict-checked and kept entirely separate from the firm's work as counsel; it is described by the process above rather than by a client matter.
Described in abbreviated, anonymised form to preserve client confidentiality.
By agreement naming the arbitrator or a mechanism, by an institution under its rules, or, where the parties cannot agree, by application to the court; the appointment can be arranged in the contract or once a dispute has arisen.
Acts as the neutral decision-maker: manages the procedure, hears the evidence and submissions, and issues a reasoned award that, once confirmed, is enforceable like a judgment.
Not on the same matter or where there is a conflict; the roles are kept separate and every appointment is conflict-checked before it is accepted.
