Master the Art of Arbitration

Arbitration is the preferred method of dispute resolution in international commerce and investment. It offers neutrality, flexibility, confidentiality, and enforceability across jurisdictions under global frameworks like the New York Convention and the ICSID Convention. From commercial contracts to investor–state disputes, arbitration empowers parties to resolve conflicts with efficiency while safeguarding relationships and commercial interests.

​

This course covers key areas including:

  • International Commercial Arbitration: Frameworks and procedures for resolving cross-border commercial disputes.

  • Investor–State Arbitration (ISDS): BITs, ICSID/UNCITRAL rules, and treaty protections for investors.

  • Construction Arbitration: Disputes in infrastructure projects, including delays, cost claims, and FIDIC contracts.

​

This is not an exhaustive list, but an overview of the central themes participants will engage with, alongside institutional rules and emerging trends, preparing you to contribute meaningfully to the future of international dispute resolution.
