DONALEE MOULTON

Pierre Bienvenu is adept at listening to both sides of the story. That aptitude has landed him in court—as vice-president of the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA). The Mont-real-based lawyer is one of 35 members from 25 countries serving on the court and the only member from Canada.

“It’s often said [the LCIA] is the longest established arbitration institution in the world. Its roots go back to the 19th century, and the court was established in 1985,” says Bienvenu, global practice leader of Norton Rose Group’s international arbitration practice.

That court, he added, has a
distinct role in the global arbitra-
tion community. “It offers users
of international dispute resolu-
tion services” an opportunity to
tap into “the institution and its
arbitration rules.”
As one of the court’s seven vice-
presidents, Bienvenu, who was
appointed last year to serve a five-
year term, is called upon periodic-
ally to appoint an arbitrator. He
has also heard challenges.
