J William Rowley KC and Alan Redfern in conversation at the LCIA offices A Biographical Note on Alan Redfern Alan Redfern is a former partner of the international law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, whose principal office is in the City of London. Alan joined the firm from university and became the first litigation partner in the firm’s long history. He helped establish the litigation department, which now takes in all aspects of dispute resolution. Alan’s first professional acquaintance with international arbitration came with a series of arbitrations in which he acted for the Government of Kuwait, including the well-known Aminoil arbitration. Alan retired from Freshfields in 1995, transferred to the Bar, and joined the Chambers of Lord Grabiner QC in One Essex Court, Temple. He had intended to stay for five years or so if things went well but, in the end, stayed for twenty-five years. During his time at One Essex Court, Alan served on the board of the London Court of International Arbitration as a non-executive Director and on the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce, first as the United Kingdom representative and then as one of the Court’s Vice- Presidents. Alan retired from his practice as an international arbitrator at the end of last year, after the conclusion of a long-running ICC arbitration in which he was the presiding arbitrator of a tribunal of three arbitrators. He is now working with his co-authors on the next edition (the seventh) of Redfern and Hunter on International Arbitration, which Oxford University Press will publish.
