Hoche Hour with Claudia Salomon: Breaking Barriers and the Future of Global Arbitration

Leadership, innovation, and access to justice in international dispute resolution.

In this edition of Hoche Hour, Jus Mundi welcomes Claudia Salomon, President of the ICC International Court of Arbitration and the first woman to lead the institution in its nearly 100-year history. In conversation with Jean-Rémi de Maistre (CEO & Co-Founder, Jus Mundi), Claudia reflects on her journey to becoming a trailblazing leader in international arbitration, her experiences managing global, multi-disciplinary teams, and her vision for expanding access to justice through technology and AI.

This conversation addresses the realities of breaking barriers in a traditionally male-dominated field, the leadership challenges of managing the ICC Court, the expansion of arbitration infrastructure to underserved regions, the role of technology and AI in making dispute resolution more efficient and accessible, and what lies ahead for international arbitration and its practitioners in an era of geopolitical instability and rapid technological change.
