International arbitration was designed to deliver justice that is faster, cheaper, and more flexible than litigation. Yet in practice, high costs, procedural complexity, and structural exclusivity often limit access to this global field.
In this episode, two leading experts in arbitration, Christopher Campbell and Christian Campbell, explore these challenges from both personal and professional perspectives. They discuss how financial barriers, social “clubbiness,” and the perception of belonging shape opportunities, especially for young and diverse practitioners.
