The Bucharest International Arbitration Court (BIAC) Appoints New Arbitrators
Bucharest, December 4, 2018: BIAC – the Bucharest International Arbitration Court, an independent arbitral institution established under the auspices of AmCham Romania, appointed four new arbitrators on October 1st, 2018.
The new BIAC arbitrators are: Ana Gabriela Atanasiu (Romania), Victor Bonnin Reynes (Spain), Igor Ellyn (Canada) and Lucian Ilie (Romania/United Kingdom).
“BIAC started with an initial list of almost 60 Romania-based and foreign arbitrators, all with strong reputations, substantial professional experience and specializations in niche areas such as FIDIC/construction law, IP rights and securities law. They are appointed for an initial three-year period, with subsequent re-appointments for an additional three-year term. I am certain that the new arbitrators will contribute to promoting BIAC both internationally as well as in Romania, thereby increasing the role of arbitration within the business community“, mentioned Annet van Hooft, BIAC Honorary President.
The Governing Board reviews on an annual basis the BIAC’s list of arbitrators, which includes international arbitrators as well as Romanian arbitrators, with strong credentials and extensive arbitration experience.
