Arbitrator Disclosure:

Interested parties should not rely on this website as a complete or up-to-date source of disclosure information about Louis B. Kimmelman.  Mr. Kimmelman does not disclose the identity of parties in matters handled as an arbitrator or as counsel and does not have ongoing access to the databases of his prior law firms.  He is a member of several arbitration related organizations and attends many conferences and events; he does not maintain records of fellow organization members, speakers or participants, nor does he monitor contact lists on LinkedIn and similar sites. Contacts or connections in contexts of this nature should not be considered to be relationships that might affect impartiality or independence in the eyes of a reasonable third party.  (Canon II, Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes, American Bar Association (2004); General Standard 2, International Bar Association Guidelines for Conflicts of Interest in International Arbitration (2014)).

Mr. Kimmelman requests that any party in an arbitration in which he is proposed as arbitrator promptly disclose any facts or circumstances considered relevant to his impartiality or independence as soon as that information is reasonably available and, for that purpose, undertake a reasonable continuing search of publicly available information promptly after learning of his prospective appointment as arbitrator.
