Mr. Goldstein will discuss arbitration of finance and banking disputes as a faculty member at the 2015 Fordham Conference on November 4, 2015 in New York.  His remarks will cover developments in investment treaty arbitrations and also cases in the commercial arbitration sector. Mr. Goldstein is regularly appointed as an arbitration in finance, banking and securities cases, and has focused considerable attention on such cases in his advocacy career. He recently completed service as an arbitrator in a four-year multi-party international arbitration arising out of the Madoff scandal.

Mr. Goldstein acted as the rapporteur and task force chair for the New York City Bar Association’s newly-issued Annotated Model Arbitral Witness Summons. The project was a joint effort of the International Commercial Disputes Committee and the Arbitration Committee of the City Bar. Mr. Goldstein is a member of each committee. The Annotated Model Arbitral Witness Summons represents nearly two years of drafting, research, and analysis that was undertaken with the objective of providing a “best practices” resource in an area of arbitral practice where the law is uncertain and there is relatively little published guidance.  The Annotated Model Arbitral Witness Summons can be found on this website by clicking the link HERE.

Mr. Goldstein has been appointed as Sole Arbitrator in a dispute in the international fashion sector between the US affiliate of a international enterprise headquartered in Western Europe and its former client a citizen of an Central European state. The dispute is administered by the AAA’s International Centre for Dispute Resolution and is governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules.
