International arbitration is now operating in an environment shaped by geopolitical fragmentation, the reassertion of state sovereignty, technological change and economic uncertainty. Against this background, the 24th edition of our International Arbitration Report, examines how those forces are changing the disputes that parties face, and the mechanisms available to resolve them.
With analysis from our international arbitration lawyers in key jurisdictions, this edition explores the impact of instability in global supply chains and energy markets, the growing competition for critical minerals, the rise in M&A disputes and the importance of developing an early-stage disputes strategy.
We also consider the impact of generative AI on arbitration, the procedural and ethical questions that accompany technological change, and evolving challenges in the enforcement of arbitral awards against sovereigns.
