9.45am Panel session: the regionalisation of dispute resolution
Sponsored by EY
Businesses are becoming increasingly global but is the provision of dispute resolution
services becoming increasingly regionalised? This opening panel discusses the
latest trends in the global marketplace, and the evolution of the provision of dispute
resolution services. Are clients increasingly favouring the services of locally-based
teams and counsel? Have the traditional big four centres seen their heyday? We also
examine the trends surrounding choice of law and discuss the global use of English
law, questioning whether alternative tribunals have the ability to deal with the
application of English law.
