What does the rest of 2025 have in store for international arbitration, and what are the key takeaways from 2024? Thomas R Snider, partner and head of international arbitration, Dalal Alhouti, knowledge development lawyer, and Robin Hayden, trainee solicitor, at Charles Russell Speechlys, set out the salient events in this week’s NLJ.
Snider, Alhouti and Hayden cover caselaw, agreements and practical developments in the field, before setting out five predictions for the year ahead.
The authors highlight, for example, that ‘self-executing “smart contracts” are increasingly likely to include arbitration provisions; however, where the agreement to arbitrate is written in code rather than natural language, we can expect to see enforcement challenges questioning whether such an agreement is “in writing”’.RELATED ARTICLES
