How to commence arbitration proceedings

In Module 2, participants will explore issues related to the early stages of arbitration from the perspectives of both counsel and arbitrators. They will hear from in-house counsel about client needs and expectations in international arbitration, learn about the role of experts at the outset of a dispute, and receive guidance from guest lecturers on case presentation and the use of interim measures to protect clients’ interests.
