On 30 September 2020, Chiann Bao and other authors of the 2019 book, The International Arbitration Rulebook: A Guide to Arbitral Regimes, to discuss the dramatic innovations that have become commonplace in international arbitration since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic - and whether those innovations will continue after the crisis subsides. Will international arbitration be changed on a permanent basis, and if so, will the changes be for the better? Topics will include virtual hearings, expedited procedures, and the increased use of submission agreements to commence international arbitration cases and dispositive motions to resolve them. The panel will also discuss the recent revisions to the LCIA Rules in this context.

When? 30/09/2020 (9:00 a.m. - 10:15 a.m. ET)
