🎯 When should concerns about an arbitrator remain concerns, and when do they become grounds for a challenge? As part of the side events surrounding #TallinnArbitrationDay, join the SCC Arbitration Institute and the Swedish Arbitration Association for Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go: Challenging Arbitrators Before It's Too Late, hosted by Motieka & Audzevičius. This fast-paced breakfast session will tackle one of arbitration's most delicate topics: challenges to arbitrators. Through practical examples and war stories from practice, the discussion will examine different grounds for challenge and what practitioners should watch for before a challenge becomes inevitable. The programme will begin with key findings from the latest SCC report and recent trends in challenges to arbitrators, followed by a series of lightning perspectives on:  ⚖️ when an arbitrator's conduct becomes the issue; ⚖️ conflicts of interest affecting independence and impartiality; and ⚖️ disclosure failures and repeat appointments. 🎙️ Moderated by Jake Lowther (SCC Arbitration Institute), the discussion will feature Dr. Eveli Lume (Squire Patton Boggs), Triinu Hiob (NJORD), and Albertas Šekštelo, LL.M, FCIArb (MOTIEKA), who will share their perspectives on challenge applications and the lessons practitioners can draw from them. The discussion will include stories from the front line of arbitration practice, exploring memorable challenge applications, lessons learned, technical conflicts versus real concerns, and the distinction between strategic and legitimate challenges. 📅 8 October 2026, 08:45-09:30 📍 Club of Different Rooms, Tallinn 🔗 Register here: https://luma.com/frgw73km #TallinnArbitrationDay #Arbitration #InternationalArbitration #SCCArbitration #SwedishArbitrationAssociation
