The LIDW Debate: Have Arbitral Institutions Outlived their Utility?

The LIDW Debate: "Have Arbitral Institutions Outlived their Usefulness?" will feature a dynamic debate, bringing together top legal minds to discuss the current and future role of arbitral institutions.

Key arguments will include:

1. Are arbitral institutions still essential in resolving disputes?
2. Do they offer the speed and cost-effectiveness needed today?
3. How are they adapting to modern challenges and technologies?
4. What other mechanisms are emerging as viable options?
5. Are they – and the arbitration community – taking themselves altogether too seriously?

Before concluding with a vote on the winning side followed by drinks and nibbles.
