Corruption remains a critical challenge in international arbitration, jeopardizing the validity and enforceability of awards. Drawing on the ICC’s report “Red Flags or Other Indicators of Corruption in International Arbitration,” this event explores practical tools to identify suspicious patterns—from unusual payments and abnormal conduct to dealings with shell companies.

The discussion will emphasize how arbitrators and counsel can proactively detect and address these indicators while balancing investigative duties with procedural fairness. Join this essential conversation to enhance your ability to safeguard the integrity of your practice and the arbitral system.

Lunch for this event is kindly provided by the sponsoring law firm.
