So You're an International Arbitrator, How to Approach and Handle Some of the Issues That May Arise.

International Arbitration and Litigation attorney Katharine Menéndez de la Cuesta will be moderating a panel during the iLaw 2024 ILS Global Forum on International Law Conference in Miami. The discussion will aim to shed light on a myriad of challenges international arbitrators may encounter, including the selection of applicable jurisdictional laws, navigating the complexities of substantive, procedural, and specialized laws, and interpreting arbitration agreements. Beyond legal frameworks, the speakers will also explore practical hurdles such as managing disparate legal traditions, the exchange of information, countering dilatory strategies, handling ex parte proceedings and tackling requests for early dispositions. The session is designed to equip participants with strategies for managing expectations and directing proceedings efficiently in international arbitration contexts.
