Glenn P. Hendrix
Independent Arbitrator & Mediator
Glenn is a highly experienced independent arbitrator and mediator. He practiced as a litigator for forty years, acting as an arbitrator alongside his counsel work for much of that time. He now works full-time as an arbitrator, sitting nationwide and globally, with offices in Atlanta and London.
Peers and users familiar with Glenn’s work as an arbitrator describe him as “very diligent and pragmatic, thorough, and extremely professional,” as doing “an excellent job of conducting proceedings in an efficient and fair manner,” as having “a calm and steady presence that comes from years of experience in commercial law,” and as “understand[ing] complex legal and factual issues, distill[ing] them to their essence and then issu[ing] rulings laying out his reasoning in a convincing fashion.” (Who’s Who Legal | Global Arbitration Review). According to the Chambers guide, “sources consider him to be ‘very personable and enjoyable to work with,” and users “particularly value his ‘conscientious, responsive, and down-to-earth approach’ to matters.” In short, he is sensible, thoughtful in considering procedural issues and the merits of the dispute, and mindful of the cost of the proceedings.
Glenn is “determined, efficient, and effective – the [tribunal] chairperson you wish to have.” “He has the perfect way of bringing opinion together on arbitration tribunals.”
