He is a thoughtful and articulate arbitrator. He's the most engaging, communicative and thinks about things in a bespoke way.
I have a very, very high opinion of him. He's a very smart guy, who acts with incredible diligence, asks excellent questions to witnesses and counsel and is an excellent writer.
He's extremely well prepared and has very strong business sense, having come from the business world. He really understands the business needs of a company and is a very, very strong lawyer.
