About

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 5 - 10 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. He has acted as Mediator in a number of matters involving a wide variety of subjects. He accepts either ad hoc or appointments made through mediation bodies such as CEDR and CPR Resources.
