WEBINAR OVERVIEW

COVID-19 has upended businesses and transactions and transformed the way international arbitration is practised.  Mohtashami and a panel of leading international arbitration practitioners from the Middle East, Singapore, and the United Kingdom will examine the following key questions and more.

  • Is the use of virtual hearings in international arbitration here to stay?
  • Do existing arbitral rules and national arbitration legislation permit virtual hearings?
  • Has COVID-19 created a catalyst to make the arbitral process cheaper, more efficient, and more flexible for users?
  • Is there going to be an increase in arbitration disputes from certain industries in the wake of COVID-19?
  • Will there be legal challenges filed in response to virtual hearings and how successful will they be?
