Freehills partner Bronwyn Lincoln is a woman at the forefront of Australia's growth in the international arbitration space and this year she was appointed to the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA).

A graded arbitrator and partner in Freehills' litigation practice, Lincoln now occupies the rare and prestigious post as councillor of the LCIA Asia Pacific Users Council.

"My role is to promote arbitration under the banner of the LCIA, to organise symposia or other events ... to exchange information and keep up to date. I will be working with councillors from the other countries in the region, like Singapore, Hong Kong, Brunei, India, and New Zealand," she told Lawyers Weekly.

"I love what I do … International arbitration is just so diverse - it's working with clients, it's new law and exposure to different legal systems."
