As the time and cost of arbitration continue to rise, efficiency has become a central concern for its users. In recent years, the arbitration community has introduced a variety of innovations to address these challenges—from embedding efficiency principles into institutional rules to imposing time limits for commencing proceedings and issuing awards, as well as offering expedited or fast-track procedures. While these initiatives mark meaningful progress, there is still considerable work to be done.
Achieving procedural efficiency is the shared responsibility of all stakeholders. Hear from arbitrators, counsel, clients, and arbitral institutions on topics including:
- practical strategies for designing and managing arbitral proceedings to ensure prompt, cost-effective, and fair resolution;
- insights into calibrating procedure to the needs of individual disputes;
- the range of tools available to enhance efficiency throughout the arbitral process.
