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

International Arbitration News

UK | The English High Court has recently considered the extent to which the public interest in public judgments outweighs the confidentiality attached to arbitral proceedings. The Court rejected Radisson's application seeking to redact the identities of the parties and any details that may identify them in the judgment. Radisson made the application to preserve the confidentiality of the underlying arbitration. Whilst the judge acknowledged Radisson's desire to keep the arbitration confidential, this ultimately did not outweigh the general public interest in open justice. To discuss a dispute resolution procedure/clause or this judgement with one of our Fellows' please email [email protected] or Read More
