International Arbitration

Who we are

Our Commission focuses on providing practical information on arbitration as it has grown to become one of the preferred dispute resolution mechanism for international trade and commerce. The consistent growth of its popularity is paralleled by the increased legal activity in the field.

The Commission seeks to keep its members informed on arbitration agreements and contractual arbitral clauses, the conduct of arbitration proceedings, the position of arbitrators, the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards and the role of lawyers as party representatives.
