It is crucial that parties and their counsel know what characteristics they have to look for in an expert, how to find an expert, and how to employ an expert to best serve their case. Experts are involved in numerous stages of the arbitral process, and can assist by means of written reports, oral testimony, consulting, or any combination thereof. This paper explains the practical role of experts in international arbitration today, and offers advice on how counsel should use them to their clients' advantage.1 Keywords Experts, witnesses, testimony, technical cases, evidence, report, valuation, ex- pert conferencing 1 This article is a revised version of a paper presented at the 6th Biennial Symposium on Arbitration, Mediation and ADR of the Center for International Legal Studies (OILS), held in Salzburg on 10-13 June 2010. 75
