London is one of the world’s leading arbitration hubs, with parties from all over the world choosing the city as the place for their arbitration, often governed by English law. English law remains the most popular applicable law, not only in London-based arbitrations but also globally. Over five thousand law firms are based in London, and many have offices all over the world.
While many are aware of the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), fewer practitioners know about more specialised areas of international arbitration 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 arbitral institutions.
The summer school programme will also include professional networking and social activities such as the Legal London Guided Tour (the Inns of Court, the Royal Courts of Justice, the Law Society and other law-related places).
The summer school is a part of the Diploma in International Arbitration programme.
