What’s involved in international disputes?

Almost every arbitration has an international dimension.

A typical dispute might involve:

• A claimant domiciled in country 1
• A respondent from country 2
• A commercial agreement governed by the law of country 3
• The arbitral seat (which may also be the governing law of the arbitration agreement) in country 4, and
• The prospect of enforcement (or protective) proceedings in countries 5-7.
