Do you think a fish salesman would be a good addition to my team?   Sam managed Noordzee, in Brussels downtown for 7 years. He succeeded to keep this open-air fishmonger-restaurant in Brussels growing! I don't need to draw you a picture of the unforeseen events that our climate and the hospitality sector bring every day. Sam has managed to overcome them.    He didn't go to university. He's got the drive. "La niaque » as we say in our team. Whether we're selling consultancy services or fish fillets, that's what matters. He went on a job training, changed completely his professional life. He’s like the other members of my team: positive attitude, eager to learn. I must admit, after a few weeks, Sam is already like a fish to water.   Today's consulting & recruitment market is complicated. I believe in choosing alternative profiles. Stop the me too attitude. Play diversity to the hilt. I simply love seeking out atypical profiles and help them grow.    So this post gives me great pleasure to introduce you to Sam Whistler. Don't you think he lives up to his name? #staffing #recruitmentagency #consultingservices #consulting

This is the perfect demonstration of Post offices serving their Universal Service Obligation (USO) to ensure every place in the nation is being served. No private logistics company can ever stand up to this commitment. They limit their operations to the places where they can make profits. The Universal Postal Union's noble vision of "One World, One Postal Network" is gonna be a real time game changer. National Postal Operators are fast embracing the newer opportunities being presented by Digital revolution and are fast transforming themselves. Once, the Inter Portability and Inter Operability penetrates deep into all the Postal Operators of the UPU's 192 member countries, NO private player can even think of matching the size and capacity of National Postal Operators on a Global level.

🚀 GAR Live Istanbul 2024 was organized for the 11th time on 27 June. The event co-chaired by Utku Cosar and Steven Finizio was another round of success. 💡 Here are a few takeaways prepared by our intern Başak Arıcan and partner Leyla Orak Çelikboya: ⚖ One of the most critical decisions in arbitration proceedings is the choice of arbitrators. The arbitrator must be knowledgeable on the key issues in dispute, able to conduct proceedings and render an award in the language of arbitration, and their schedule must allow them to properly handle the case. One should not stop here though: Counsel must conduct proper due diligence on both previous experience and the approach of the arbitrator. It should be a case-by-case analysis: choices will differ depending on whether a case is strong on the letter of the law and contract, or on the story. 🔍 Early case assessment needs to be prioritized. From deciding on whether to initiate the proceedings, to determining the timing on submissions on merits, document production and experts, the entire strategy needs to be crystallized from the outset. It is better to plan than to go with the flow. 🔸Simplicity is your friend. This goes for design. This goes for debating. This goes for arbitration just the same. The simpler one can put their story and case, the stronger the result. ⛔ Approach to document production is strongly affected by the legal culture of arbitrators, parties and counsel. The scope of attorney-client privilege for instance materially differs across jurisdictions. It is best to manage expectations from the beginning of proceedings. 🏢 Institutions vary in their approach to arbitrator appointments and to scrutiny. One thing that remains constant is that all institutions aim to provide high quality services and to facilitate the process in the conduct of arbitration proceedings. It is best to be proactive and engage in dialogue with the institutions in advance for any issues that may arise, such as delays. 📐 Experts continue to be an indispensable part of arbitration, be it regarding quantum, delay, or legal expertise. For each case, to avoid “ships passing by in the night”, handling of experts need to be assessed both by counsel and the arbitrators in the early stages of the proceedings. 🤖 AI is here to stay. It is crucial to assess how existing regulations will apply, where new regulations are required, and how, for instance, the upcoming EU AI Act will impact arbitration practitioners. AI tools, while necessitating scrutiny regarding correct outputs and confidentiality, certainly assist us and help save material time. However, for the foreseeable future, the human element in arbitration proceedings, including human bias, is also here to stay. 🏆 Shared insights and experience prove once again: arbitration is only as good as the arbitrators and the counsel who shape the process.
