Global dispute resolution events open to legal professionals
Conferences, forums, and workshops designed for judges, arbitrators, and experts in international commercial arbitration.
Most conferences end in a handshake. Ours end in a ruling.
While other institutions host general networking sessions, we design conferences that produce written conclusions, draft protocols, and judicial recommendations signed by the room.
Model arbitration hearings
Attend a full mock hearing conducted by sitting arbitrators. Procedural rulings issued in real time. No scripts, no rehearsals.
Judicial roundtables
Six judges, three jurisdictions, one unresolved procedural question. A working session that produces a memorandum of consensus.
Award drafting workshops
Workshop where attendees draft a reasoned award from a real case study. Reviewed by a former chief arbitrator. Results anonymised and published.
Cross-border mediation labs
Simulated multiparty mediation with cultural and legal friction points. Trained mediators intervene. Attendees exit with a signed term sheet.
Research symposia
Scholars present original papers on enforcement, investor-state arbitration, and AI in dispute resolution. Each paper receives a formal response from a practitioner.
Do our events deliver practical value?
Participants tell us the Centre’s conferences and forums translate directly into better case outcomes and sharper procedural knowledge.
The judicial forum on investor-state arbitration gave me procedural tools I applied in a hearing the following week. The drafting alone was worth the session.
Dr. Helena Richter
Practising Arbitrator, Geneva
I came expecting theory. I left with model clauses and a note-exchange protocol our chamber now uses as standard. Exceptional efficiency.
Justice Kwame Osei
Commercial Court Judge, Accra
The Centre’s annual conference connected me with three arbitrators for an energy tribunal. That alone justified the registration. Well-organised throughout.
Sofia Marques
In-House Counsel, Lisbon
A forum that respects practitioner time. No filler panels, real cross-examination workshops, and a level of debate I have not found elsewhere.
Rajan Kapoor
Independent Mediator, Singapore
