The complexity of commercial and investment arbitration is increasing, with many arbitrations now involving multiple parties or contracts and spanning multiple jurisdictions and areas of law not to mention such pervasive new trends as virtual advocacy. This indispensable and eminently practical book systematically addresses the measures required to apply the concepts underpinning international arbitration in real-world arbitral proceedings.
With detailed guidance on all stages of international arbitration and their sequence, a select group of established and up-and-coming practitioners share their knowledge in user-friendly chapters on the most salient aspects of practice. These chapters are presented in four sections:
counsels role which includes chapters on written submissions, oral advocacy, use of evidence, use of fact and expert witnesses, means of shaping an arbitration, and how to work with and lead a team;
the tribunals role which includes chapters on arbitrators duties, the hearing, deliberations, the process of drafting orders and awards, and arbitrators remuneration;
the arbitral institution's role which includes chapters on distinctions between institutional and ad hoc arbitrations, appointing committees, advances on costs, the secretariats role, and scrutiny of arbitral awards; and
how arbitration is funded which includes chapters on calculating the costs, sources of third-party funding, and means of paying.
