International Arbitration - A Box Set of 6 Essential Modules
Introduction
International arbitration is one of the pre-eminent means of resolving international commercial disputes, including in the energy, mining, financial services, insurance and reinsurance and aviation sectors. The advantages of international arbitration include relative ease of enforcement of arbitral awards across national borders in addition to confidentiality and party autonomy. International arbitration offers commercial parties considerable procedural flexibility and the choice of decision maker but, in order to deploy that flexibility to optimal effectiveness, commercial parties need to be aware of the options available and the strategic decisions they must make at each stage of the arbitral process.
In addition to providing a practical step-by-step guide to each of the stages in international arbitration, Mr Speller will address the important strategic and tactical considerations that arise at each stage of an international arbitration, drawing on his extensive experience both as arbitration Counsel and as arbitrator.
