As arbitrator, Céline offers a rare combination: hands-on experience with dozens of international arbitral tribunals and a strong counsel background in international commercial and investment disputes.
She understands the importance of neutrality, efficiency, and reasoned, convincing decisions — and knows what it takes to get there.
She learned the craft from the best, including working for eight years with one of the best arbitrators in the world.
She pays particular attention to procedural management.
She recognises that procedural decisions (i) often impact merits issues (directly or indirectly, and whether this is apparent or not to the tribunal at the time the procedural decision is made) and (ii) shape the parties' trust in the process as well as their acceptance of the outcome of the arbitration (a prerequisite for voluntary compliance with awards)
