International Arbitration in Practice

International Arbitration in Practice is an indispensable and highly pragmatic book that systematically addresses the concepts underpinning international arbitration and the measures counsel, arbitrator and institution may apply during proceedings. It has been carefully curated to include insights and best practices based on real-world experience and covers the increasing complexity of international commercial and investment arbitration by adeptly addressing arbitrations involving multiple parties or contracts, those spanning multiple jurisdictions and areas of law, and when and how to utilize new trends such as virtual advocacy.

What’s in this book: Providing in-depth guidance throughout all phases of international arbitration, a carefully selected group of established and emerging practitioners impart their knowledge in user-friendly chapters covering the key elements of practice. These chapters are presented in four sections:

counsel’s role – which includes chapters on written and oral advocacy, document production, the use of evidence, means of shaping an arbitration, and how to work with and lead a team;

the tribunal’s role – which includes chapters on responding to the nomination, arbitrators’ duties, the hearing, weighing evidence, drafting orders and awards, and correction and clarification;

the institution’s role – which includes chapters on distinctions between institutional and ad hoc arbitrations, the secretariat’s role, appointing arbitrators, advances on costs, and scrutiny of arbitral awards; and

how arbitration is funded – which includes chapters on calculating costs, third-party funding, and attorney’s fees.

How this will help you: Practitioners and users alike will benefit from the practical presentation of all stages of international arbitration and will be able to approach any case with a full understanding of the potential procedure, strategies, and tactics to be employed thanks to the authors’ thorough consideration of the real-world practicalities.
