Conflict of laws in arbitration | HIAD Conference 2022
Channel: Bucerius Law School – Lecture digital
Date: 19/06/2023

In April 2022, on the occasion of the Hamburg International Arbitration Days (HIAD 2022), the Center for International Dispute Resolution at Bucerius Law School, CAM-CCBC, Hamburg Arbitration Circle (HAC) and Rechtsstandort Hamburg e.V. invited academics and practitioners to debate pervasive and new issues of conflict of laws in arbitration.

Conflict of laws questions arise at every corner of international arbitration proceedings. Despite an increasing harmonization of the relevant laws, the question which law governs particular procedural or jurisdictional questions or the merits may still be outcome determinative as recent awards and decisions in various jurisdictions show.
