This ICC YAAF event will analyse how arbitration could promote amicable dispute resolution.
The International Chamber of Commerce Young Arbitration & ADR Forum (ICC YAAF) is organizing an event to discuss opportunities to promote amicable dispute resolution in international arbitration.
Multi-tiered dispute resolution clauses offer parties multiple opportunities to resolve disputes by moving through different stages of the resolution process. There are advantages and challenges that need to be considered, along with best practices for drafting these clauses to ensure they are effective. Arbitral Tribunals have developed strategies to encourage agreements between disputing parties through proactive measures that promote settlements before a formal decision is needed. Key actions by tribunals include organizing settlement conferences and providing preliminary views on cases to guide parties towards realistic settlements. However, promoting mediation carries risks, such as perceived bias or coercion, which can undermine neutrality and trust. The event will also cover how to manage these risks and explore ways to encourage mediation while maintaining impartiality and integrity.
Open to those aged 40 and under, YAAF provides opportunities for individuals to gain knowledge, develop their skills and understand ICC’s arbitral procedure and other dispute resolution services.
