EODID Athens Mediation & Arbitration Organization and Greece Very Young Arbitration Practitioners (Greece VYAP) are pleased to co-organize, as part of Athens Arbitration Days 2026, a panel discussion entitled:
Tribunal Secretaries: The Fourth Arbitrator or an Indispensable Assistant?
Tribunal secretaries play an increasingly significant role in modern arbitration, contributing to the efficient conduct of arbitral proceedings. Their growing involvement, however, raises important questions about the scope of their responsibilities and the boundaries between assisting arbitral tribunals and performing functions reserved exclusively for arbitrators.
Bringing together experienced arbitration practitioners, the panel will examine these issues from both the arbitrator’s and the tribunal secretary’s perspectives, exploring the practical and ethical considerations surrounding the role.
The discussion will also highlight the opportunities that serving as a tribunal secretary offers to young legal professionals seeking to gain practical experience and pursue a career in international arbitration.
