Join us in Paris for the 2025 edition of the ICC France Annual Arbitration Conference. This year's theme is "The Future of Arbitration: Evolution or Revolution? French and Global Perspectives".
2025 has been shaped by a dynamic wave of discussions on the future direction of French arbitration law and the ICC Arbitration Rules.
The 2025 edition of this Conference takes place against the backdrop of these ongoing transformations. Moving beyond a purely institutional or legal lens, the event will explore how national initiatives and institutional developments intersect to shape the future of dispute resolution—both within France and on the international stage.
Discussions will delve into the ambitions driving current debates around French arbitration law, highlighting points of convergence and divergence with reforms underway in other jurisdictions. This comes at a time when the ICC International Court of Arbitration is itself taking proactive steps to evolve its procedures in response to the shifting demands of a rapidly changing market.
