Making arbitration better, faster, stronger: Should and what can London learn from the SIAC Rules 2025?
4 Jun
14:00 - 15:30
The 2025 SIAC Arbitration Rules represent a step-change in global dispute resolution. From emergency relief mechanisms to streamlined case handling and digital integration, they redefine efficiency, transparency, and agility. The new rules are said to be "user-friendly", catering to the resolution of disputes of all levels of complexity and stakes.
Are there any lessons for London to learn here? Or is the status quo just fine for us?
We have designated a position for each panellist to advocate for throughout the panel session:
Should London learn from the SIAC Rules 2025?
- Marion Smith KC – Yes. London needs to catch up.
- Mark Beeley – No. London needs to chart its own path.
- Shai Wade – SIAC should learn from London instead.
- Simon Barrie Sasmoyo – It depends.
No hedging, no moderation and certainly, no holds barred.
Join us for a lively debate, with a chance to see our panellists attempt to persuade you that their position must be the right one. Ultimately, you will decide by way of public vote.
