Four New Milestones in International Arbitration: Technology, Reform, Ethics & Strategic Dispute Management
The international arbitration landscape is undergoing one of the fastest and most visible transformations in decades. New technologies, institutional reforms and stronger ethical frameworks are reshaping how disputes are initiated, managed and resolved across borders. Today’s practitioners — arbitrators, counsels, academics, and corporate decision-makers — operate in an environment where transparency, artificial intelligence, forum strategy and global enforceability matter more than ever.
Below, we introduce four new and essential titles that respond to these challenges. Each brings a unique perspective on the future of international arbitration and reflects key developments that professionals cannot ignore.
