e-INDUSTRY NEWSLETTER | ​

Prime Dispute is pleased to offer you our monthly e-Industry Newsletter! We highlight current news, developments and the 'Top 65 Influencers'; supporting our vision for law, dispute avoidance, management and resolution mechanisms as an equal to litigation.

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION ROUNDTABLE 2023 | Arbitration remains strong and widely accepted as a means of resolving international commercial disputes. Potentially, no other process offers such efficient, impartial, multilateral and clear business mechanism for complex disputes. View the insights from our FPD International Arbitration Panellists. Please note: The 'INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION ROUNDTABLE 2023' publication includes 2 CPD points for all Prime Dispute members. Read More


INTERNATIONAL MEDIATION ROUNDTABLE | Over the last decade the approach taken by commercial parties towards dispute resolution has changed. While traditional forms of dispute resolution remain popular, commercial parties are increasingly looking to alternative forms of dispute resolution mechanisms to find methods of dispute resolution which better suit their commercial needs and deliver efficient and effective results. But does mediation provide the answer? Read More

WOMEN IN INTERNATIONAL LAW & ADR ROUNDTABLE | As the under-representation of senior women within the legal and ADR community remains a critical issue in the field, Prime Dispute fellows discuss the steps the community needs to take to overcome this lack of diversity, the development of the role of women in the profession and future challenges that will be faced by the next generation of female practitioners. Read More 

RAMADAN 2023 | We are proud of the different cultures and religions we have here at Prime Dispute, both as part of the Executive Team and our UK & International members. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and the most holy of months for muslims, as it is believed that this was when the Holy Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The dates change each year as the Islamic calendar follows the cycles of the moon. Prime Dispute would like to send our warmest greetings to all Muslims observing the month of Ramadan. This is a month of reflection and a chance to come together in the spirit of understanding and compassion. In these challenging times, our thoughts are with those facing conflict, displacement and suffering."

International Arbitration News

UK & India | Prime Dispute welcomes the decision by the Bar Council of India to publish regulations to allow the establishment of foreign lawyers and law firms in India. The decision is a noteworthy step forward in this long-standing issue and will generate opportunities for the legal profession and #internationalarbitrators in the UK and India. It will also give a boost to India’s wider economic ambitions and will aid foreign investment. Our #Fellows continue to support the development of #InternationalArbitration in India and this statement will provide further confidence in the legal profession in India. Prime Dispute benefits from having members from Indian law firms practice arbitration in London and we believe the benefits will be seen and felt of having foreign qualified lawyers and advocates practising arbitration from India. Read More

Mediation News

UK Mediation News | "The UK will sign the Convention as soon as possible, as an important signal of our intentions to remain a world leader in this area and as a clear indication of the UK’s commitment to mediation. We will work to ratify at a later date once all necessary implementing legislation is in place and after the Convention has been laid before Parliament under the terms of the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010." Read More
UK MOJ |  "MoJ proposals for mandatory mediation need to be accompanied by more investment in training mediators and getting the profession to back the changes, she said. ‘Education and acceptance [of mediation] is absolutely key to make the system work and maintain confidence. It can only be successful if the public, profession and judiciary embrace that change." Read More
