David Lewis QC has contributed a chapter to ‘The Guide to Advocacy – Fourth Edition’, published by Global Arbitration Review (GAR).
The biodiversity of international arbitrators may mean that there are no universally correct approaches to advocacy. Titled “Cultural Considerations in Advocacy: United Kingdom”, the chapter discusses general aspects of the UK approach to advocacy across areas of written advocacy, oral submissions and witness statements.
David is a specialist advocate who practises predominantly in international arbitration. He appears as lead counsel in a variety of commercial disputes, with a particular focus on cases involving energy and natural resources, civil fraud and international trade (including both commodities and shipping).
This chapter is an extract from the fourth edition of GAR’s The Guide to Advocacy, first published in October 2019. The whole publication is available here.
