International arbitration is having to contend with evolving geopolitical dynamics, the rapid pace of technological advancement and shifting global trade patterns. As companies across the business spectrum navigate increasingly complex cross-border disputes, international arbitration has risen to meet the challenge.

Since the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in particular, the international arbitration landscape has undergone a period of rapid technological innovation and procedural evolution. The rise of virtual hearings and digital evidence management, for example, has enhanced accessibility and reduced costs for the parties involved. In parallel, there has been a growing emphasis on diversity and inclusion within arbitral tribunals, reshaping the way in which disputes are resolved.

Stakeholders are placing greater importance on predictability and enforceability in arbitration outcomes. As a result, international arbitral institutions must set standards and adapt to new legal frameworks and emerging realities. This is especially true in areas such as environmental and climate-related disputes, and the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence, which is prompting complex cross-border disagreements that are well-suited to arbitration’s flexibility, confidentiality and enforceability.
