Last modified: 05 Aug 2021 13:04


Course Overview

Arbitration is growing in popularity as a dispute resolution method across a variety of sectors, and internationally. The law in this area is technical and complex, and a full understanding of how it operates is essential for anyone advising clients, or framing contracts carrying arbitration clauses. This course builds on the International Arbitration Law course and takes the practical aspects of arbitration to a deeper level. This course can contribute (along with other courses) to exam exemption towards Fellowship of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.
