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

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION ROUNDTABLE | Arbitration remains strong and widely accepted as a means of resolving international commercial disputes.

International Arbitration News

UK | (i) As expected, arbitration remains the preferred method for the resolution of energy disputes. However, many respondents to the survey indicated they would prefer alternative forms of dispute resolution, such as negotiation, mediation, litigation, dispute boards, expert determination and/or combination of these methods. (ii) London, Singapore, Paris, Geneva, Stockholm, New York, Dubai and Hong Kong, followed by other international seats, are the most popular choices for the seat of arbitration for energy disputes. (iii) Neutrality, technical expertise of arbitrators, and the wide enforceability of arbitral awards, followed by confidentiality, are amongst the most important elements for energy disputes. Interestingly, local courts are viewed as unsuitable for such disputes, as such disputes, often requires technical specialism afforded by arbitration. Read More
