Ian Hunter

Has a broad-based commercial practice in line with chambers’ profile. A major part of his practice is concerned with arbitration both as advocate and as arbitrator. As a junior barrister he was involved in a large number of shipping arbitrations. Since taking silk he has been instructed in many arbitrations, both of a general commercial nature (including ICC and ad hoc arbitrations) and more specialised arbitrations, particularly in the insurance and reinsurance fields. In the last five to ten years he has spent approximately equal amounts of time acting as an advocate in arbitration and as an arbitrator (both ad hoc and ICC). Insurance and reinsurance arbitrations are a particular speciality. Arbitration takes up substantially more than 50% of his professional time. Has acted as mediator in a number of matters involving a wide variety of subjects. Accepts either ad hoc or appointments made through mediation bodies such as CEDR and CPR resources.
