Staff changes at the Secretariat of the Court

On 1 January 2005, the following changes will take effect amongst senior members of staff at the Secretariat of the ICC International Court of Arbitration. These changes reflect the increasing variety and scope of ICC’s dispute resolution services.

Jennifer Kirby will take over as Deputy Secretary General of the ICC Court upon the departure of Eduardo Silva Romero, who is returning to private practice in the Paris office of an international law firm after more than six years with ICC. Ms Kirby, who holds British and US citizenship, has been with the ICC Court since 2002, as Counsel in charge of one of its case management teams.

Emmanuel Jolivet, who has been General Counsel of the ICC International Court of Arbitration since 2000, will in addition become Deputy Director of ICC Dispute Resolution Services for services other than arbitration.

Katherine González Arrocha, Senior Counsel, will, in addition to her present responsibilities, oversee matters relating to arbitration in Latin America, an area in which Mr Silva Romero has been particularly active. She will work in liaison with Dyalá Jiménez Figueres, ICC’s local representative for dispute resolution services in Latin America who is based in Santiago, Chile.
