What is this conference about?

The aim of this conference programme is to reveal some of the tools and tactics available to all involved in international commercial arbitration and litigation in a wide variety of disputes. The programme combines real life experience ‘war stories’ with fresh views with an aim to widen and deepen knowledge of international arbitration, to get behind the doctrine and learn from the experienced practitioners, and, perhaps to improve the chances of winning

Tactics, as a topic, is one of the more mysterious yet vital elements of winning international disputes.  Sometimes it is purely a question of experience and knowledge – for instance you may not know that this or that ‘tool’ is available to you as a practitioner. 

In some cases, the tactics apply either to national legal systems, particular sets of arbitration rules, or particular contracts. 

Over two intensive days, the team of leading expert conference speakers and workshop leaders will examine tools and tactics in a methodical way which will help lawyers, in-house lawyers and arbitrators to master many of the the wide-ranging aspects of international arbitration practice.

Who should attend?

Lawyers in industry

Lawyers in private practice

Anyone involved in international commercial arbitration

And all those whose work brings them into contact with international contracts that have the potential for giving rise to disputes that need to be resolved.
