"It is satisfying to realize that the thought and effort in the formation of our Jamaica team has been recognized by The Legal 500. Identifying the proper attorneys and other professionals for our Jamaica office that would not only have success locally, but also immediately create synergies with our offices regionally and globally, working collaboratively is proof positive of the added value of Dentons. With the addition of Tricia-Gaye O’Connor as our Jamaica managing partner earlier this year, we are even more excited about the future for our Jamaica team." Dustin Delany, Dentons Delany Chair and Chief Managing Partner shared. For more than 30 years, The Legal 500 has been conducting extensive research to analyze the capabilities of law firms across the world with an exhaustive exploration program that is constantly revised and updated annually to highlight the most recent vision of the global legal market.

As a young lawyer fresh out of law school in 1989, John Ohnesorge never thought he’d be practicing law in South Korea. This year, he returned as a Fulbright Distinguished Scholar. In addition to teaching in the 2023 spring and fall semesters, Ohnesorge, who returns to Wisconsin later this month, researched Korea as a case study of democratization and the role of law in the region.

Looking forward to our panel discussion on traditional litigation vs ADR together with esteemed colleagues from Baker Mckenzie (London) and a number of CEE law offices. Whether the new mediation legislative changes in Bulgaria will have positive effect or not remains to be seen, but there are quite a few other ADR matters on which I do also intend to elaborate during the panel. Details about the conference in the post of Dr. Dogan Gultutan below:
I will be attending the 12th Balkan Legal Forum (6-7 June 2024 at Sofia Balkan Palace, Sofia), organised principally by the International Bar Association, and will speak as a panelist on whether ADR is on the move to kill off traditional litigation practices, together with Boris Šavorić, Simel Sarialioglu, FCIArb and Atanas Valov, with moderation from Ingeborg Edel. I will share my two pennies' worth on the topic from an English practitioner's perspective, particularly focusing on the recent-ish English Court of Appeal judgment in Churchill v Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council [2023] EWCA Civ 1416, and its likely impact on the English mediation landscape. Looking forward to seeing many familiar and new faces in Sofia!

Partner and Global Co-Chair of International Arbitration at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP | Adjunct Professor at Columbia Law School
On January 12, I received a very surprising phone call from Felix Dasser, the President of the ASA - Swiss Arbitration Association. He told me that I had won a prize I did not know I was even being considered for: the Swiss Arbitration Association’s Advocacy Prize, awarded to one individual in our field every two years. So I flew to Geneva a couple of weeks later to attend the Swiss Arbitration Association’s 50th Anniversary Conference, with over 500 other attendees, to collect the prize. During a particular busy period in my career, it also gave me an opportunity to take a step back and reflect on what makes a good advocate. I was asked to discuss the topic in front of the audience with the 2022 Laureate, Nadia Darwazeh. I’ll share just four tips that we discussed: 1) No shortcuts. To be a good advocate, you have to prepare meticulously. You have to know your subject matter inside out. 90% preparation, 10% inspiration. 2) Organize your presentation simply. It is easy to get lost when you’re listening to someone for an extended period of time. It’s the advocate’s job to make sure the listener is following along and knows where the advocate is in her/his argument or question. You are not doing your job effectively if the listener is lost or if you make a point that comes across as being complicated. Reference to power point slides or documents can help the listener follow along. But they should be used as tools to assist your presentation and should not become a crutch. You need to be agile as you're reading the audience (or witness) in real time. 3) Be authentic. It is more likely that someone will believe you and remain attentive if you are being yourself. The listener has to believe that you are telling them what you truly believe. To allow for that, the listener needs to get to know who you are. Be a little vulnerable. If it’s appropriate, show some emotion (but don’t overdo it!). Advocacy is not an exercise in reading (but having a script can be okay!), it’s an exercise in engaging the audience. 4) Keep learning. We can always get better at what we do and we have to put in the time to improve. I read about good advocacy, I watch good advocates, and I am always looking for constructive feedback on what I can do to get better. It was a special honor to receive this prize. I’m sure it will be a highlight in my career. A shout out to the prior laureates, whose company I am lucky to keep: Franz Schwarz, Philippe Pinsolle, Raëd Fathallah, Melissa Magliana, Prof. Dr. Mohamed Abdel Wahab C.Arb, FCIArb, Christopher Boog, and Nadia Darwazeh. #GibsonDunn #InternationalArbitration #advocacy #ASA
