Join our panel event for an in‑depth exploration of the evolving landscape of international dispute resolution, featuring two expert panel discussions.
Panel 1: Professionalism and international standards in dispute resolution.
This session will examine how professionalism and international standards continue to underpin trust and credibility in dispute resolution across jurisdictions. Panellists will discuss best practice, conflicts of interest, and the ethical responsibilities that shape the conduct of practitioners worldwide. The conversation will address the growing influence of emerging technologies - particularly AI - and consider the digital tools can digital tools can be integrated responsibly while safeguarding integrity, independence, accountability, and professional standards.
Panel 2: The rapidly changing forms of international dispute resolution.
As methods of dispute resolution around the world are rapidly developing, becoming more flexible and fluid, and users of dispute resolution services are becoming more sophisticated and discerning, this panel will explore the latest trends in this field.
