SUMMARY:The Evolving Landscape of International Arbitration Awards
DESCRIPTION:This upcoming program delves into the legal developments in international arbitration and includes a case study on a recent high-stakes international arbitration. It is designed for legal professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of international arbitration practice. The program will provide: \n(1) Context in how recent court decisions have clarified the standard for vacating awards—establishing that Section 10 of the FAA\, not Article V of the New York Convention\, governs vacatur of U.S.-rendered awards \n(2) An inside look at the defense of a very large P.R.C. state-owned enterprise against an $8 billion International Centre for Dispute Resolution\n(ICDR) arbitration. This case had arbitral jurisdiction battles\, a lopsided 9-member arbitral panel\, District Court vacatur and confirmation motions\, Fifth Circuit and SCOTUS proceedings\, and complex settlement negotiations. \n(3) Insight into business and cultural differences between U.S. and Chinese parties and lawyers\, how this can impact arbitrations\, and how arbitrators can bridge these differences. \nThe speakers include CalArb members Neil Popovic\, Cedric Chao\, FCIArb\, and moderator Carla Gharibian.

SUMMARY:This Battle of the Seats
DESCRIPTION:Presented at Paris Arbitration Week by California Arbitration and the New York Arbitration Center. \nWe will explore the comparative advantages and disadvantages of four of the world’s leading arbitration seats – New York\, Paris\, California\, and London – through a lively discussion. Representatives from each jurisdiction will advocate for their seat in a debate-style contest that will feature questions about procedural efficiency\, enforceability\, and other advantages or disadvantages that each seat may pose\, including recent developments in case law and institutional rules. This session will help arbitration practitioners\, in-house counsel\, and other decision-makers understand the practical implications of selecting these places as their seat\, and will pit new against old as the participants have the opportunity to vote for their preferred seat at the end. \nThis panel is moderated by Giorgio Sassine\, an attorney at Musick\, Peeler & Garret\, LLP; Katie Gonzalez\, an associate at Clearly Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton; Laura Abrahamson\, CalArb president and an arbitrator at JAMS; Kevin Nash\, director general at the London Court of International Arbitration; Alexis Mourre\, a partner at MCL Arbitration; and Caline Mouawad\, a partner at Chaffetz Lindsey.

SUMMARY:Enforcement of Arbitral Awards: Theory and Practice - Part 5: USA (Virtual Edition)
DESCRIPTION:The efficacy of arbitration as an effective dispute resolution mechanism depends to a large extent on whether the integrity of the award will be protected by the national courts in enforcement and annulment proceedings and treated as final and binding save in limited circumstances. \nThe “Enforcement of Arbitral Awards: Theory & Practice” global series seeks to provide an overview of the arbitration law in different jurisdictions\, with a focus on the theory and practice of the enforcement of arbitral awards in those jurisdictions.  The definition of an “arbitral award”\, the grounds for non-enforcement of awards\, the grounds for annulment of awards\, as well as the national court’s attitude and approach in applying these grounds\, will be examined.  Some of the practical aspects on identification of assets of an award debtor within these jurisdictions will also be discussed. \nIn the fifth installment of this series\, we focus on the theory and practice of enforcement of awards in the USA.
