Presentation

California Arbitration ("CalArb") and New York International Arbitration Center ("NYIAC") present "This Battle of the Seats"

We will explore the comparative advantages and disadvantages of four of the world’s leading arbitration seats – New York, Paris, California, and London – through a lively discussion. Representatives from each jurisdiction will advocate for their seat in a debate-style contest that will feature questions about procedural efficiency, enforceability, and other advantages or disadvantages that each seat may pose, including recent developments in case law and institutional rules. This session will help arbitration practitioners, in-house counsel, and other decision-makers understand the practical implications of selecting these places as their seat, and will pit new against old as the participants have the opportunity to vote for their preferred seat at the end.
