Join us for an ICC YAAF panel kicking off the ICC UK Annual Arbitration & ADR Conference, “Dispute Resolution: The Economic Perspective”.Rising arbitration practitioners will discuss the practical impact of the UK Arbitration Act 2025 and how its reforms may reshape arbitration in England and Wales.
The UK Arbitration Act 2025 marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of English arbitration law. Building on the robust foundation of the 1996 Act, the new legislation introduces targeted reforms aimed at enhancing efficiency, transparency, and legal certainty. Key changes include a statutory rule on the governing law of arbitration agreements, express powers for summary disposal, expanded court support for arbitration, and codified duties of disclosure for arbitrators.
This ICC YAAF session brings together a dynamic panel of rising arbitration practitioners to explore the practical implications of the new Act and what lies ahead for arbitration in England and Wales. The discussion will delve into how these reforms may reshape procedural strategies, tribunal powers, and the role of English courts in arbitral proceedings.
This event is for young arbitration practitioners that will be the the first line of interpreting this new arbitration act.
