Conference Highlights

The last decade has seen an exponential growth in both international commercial arbitration and international investment arbitration. Yet, arbitration proceedings can prove to be very costly and their funding raises the delicate question of the accessibility of arbitration.

The solution offered by third-party funding has undoubtedly become a fact of life in the world of arbitration, despite reservations in some quarters. Although Continental countries continue to regard it with suspicion, Anglo-Saxon countries have embraced this solution and already built up a body of experience in the field. This conference will first consider the various funding techniques specific to international arbitration and then look at some of the legal issues raised by such funding and the reactions it may arouse amongst international arbitration practitioners.

This Annual Meeting is the ICC Institute of World Business Law’s latest contribution to reflection on new practices in international arbitration and is inspired by the wish to see those practices develop in a way that is compatible with the basic principles which ensure the parties’ rights.

Who should attend?

All professionals involved in international trade and dispute resolution: lawyers, arbitrators, magistrates, academics and corporate counsel.
