War and Peace: Challenges to Come for Arbitration in the Defence Sector

Presentation

ADF is pleased to host a panel that will explore the most pressing issues of arbitration in the defense industry. Defense sector contracts are strategic, high-value, and have a considerable impact on national security. Typically concluded between private entities and states or state-owned entities, these contracts are particularly vulnerable to political shifts, allegations of corruption, and regulatory constraints, leading to complex disputes. Join us to explore how international arbitration navigates these challenges, balancing contractual stability with state sovereignty in a sector where law, politics, and security intersect.

The panel will be followed by a cocktail.
