PAW 2025

PAW 2025 was the 9th edition of the Paris Arbitration Week and by far the most successful edition to date, breaking all previous records and confirming PAW’s position as the essential milestone for the global arbitration community.

The 2025 edition enjoyed the extraordinary support of 253 partners from around the world and featured an unprecedented 230 events in five days, with 145 held in person and 37 in hybrid format, alongside over 40 social events and cocktail receptions! The events showcased a wealth of fascinating topics on international arbitration with world-class speakers, and attracted a record number of participants from around the globe, with over 40,500 registration requests during the week!

In line with its commitments, PAW 2025 featured Professor Mohamed Abdel Wahab’s keynote speech on diversity and the PAW Sustainability Event, introduced by Mr. Fabius’ keynote speech, which focused on sustainable development-related fundamental rights in arbitration.

2025 also marked a significant milestone with the week seeing more than 6,000 unique active accounts on the PAW website, almost doubling last year’s figures and demonstrating the growing global reach and engagement of the event.

As co-Presidents of PAW 2025, we could not be prouder of what the PAW Board achieved in 2025!
