  4. Glennie joins Arbitration Centre after leaving bench

Glennie joins Arbitration Centre after leaving bench

4th December 2020 | careers

Lord Glennie is to replace Brandon Malone as chair of the board at the Scottish Arbitration Centre after next year's ICCA Edinburgh congress.

The announcement was made on the day after Lord Glennie retired as a Senator of the College of Justice after 15 years on the bench. He is meantime joining the board as vice chair. 

After a career at the commercial bar in London, where he specialised in commercial and international arbitration, and later as an advocate in Edinburgh, Angus Glennie was appointed a judge of the Court of Session in 2005 and worked originally as an intellectual property judge. He became Principal Commercial Judge in 2007, a position which he held for some four years. He was appointed an arbitration judge in 2010, delivering the first judgments under the Arbitration (Scotland) Act 2010. 

In 2016 he was appointed to the First Division of the Inner House and was also appointed to the Privy Council. He is now joining Axiom Advocates in Edinburgh and rejoining his old chambers, Twenty Essex, in London, in each case as an arbitrator. He will also remain chair of the Arbitration Court Users Group. 

Three other new directors at the Centre include Mary Thomson, a chartered arbitrator and accredited mediator and adjudicator, who will become vice chair when Lord Glennie becomes chair;  Peter Scott Caldwell, an engineer by training who is currently in practice as a chartered arbitrator, adjudicator and mediator in Hong Kong; and Gillian Carmichael Lemaire, who is dual qualified at the Paris bar and a Scottish solicitor and who has spent most of her 35-year career in international arbitration and, more recently, mediation. 

They join current directors Brandon Malone, Janey Milligan, Brandon Nolan, Ysella Jago and George Burgess.

Mr Malone commented: "The fact that we have been able to attract such expertise and diversity to the Board is testament to our development and success as an organisation over the last ten years."

Andrew Mackenzie, chief executive of the Centre, added: "I welcome Lord Glennie, Mary, Peter and Gillian to the board and very much look forward to working with them as we look to develop new services and deliver ICCA Edinburgh.”
