London Summer Arbitration School 2022

20.-24.06.2022

The London Summer Arbitration School will bring together leading practitioners, academics and representatives of arbitral institutions. The school will take place on 20-24 June 2022 at the Bush House, Aldwych.

While many are familiar with the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), fewer practitioners know about more specialised areas of international arbitration. For example, the number of maritime arbitrations administered by the London Maritime Arbitrators Association (LMAA) actually exceeds the number of commercial proceedings handled by LCIA. Most of disputes resolved by arbitration have an international element.

Building on the success of the Basel Winter Arbitration School, the London Summer Arbitration School will feature an interactive five-day programme introducing participants not only to commercial arbitration, but also to less well-known types of arbitration such as maritime, construction and commodities arbitration. The participants will also engage in discussion of related career and business development opportunities with practitioners and representatives of institutions.
