Join us for this half-day ICC YAAF Conference and hear from your experienced arbitrators and experts about latest developments of arbitration in Iran and beyond.

 

Arbitration, as an alternative dispute resolution mechanism at both national and international levels, has continually undergone significant developments and advancements. In recent years, Iran has witnessed substantial changes in its arbitration framework, including legal reforms, the evolution of judicial practices related to arbitration, and an increasing reliance on arbitration in commercial contracts.

 

On a global scale, arbitration has also experienced notable transformations, such as the updating of institutional arbitration rules, emerging practices in the enforcement of arbitral awards, and the growing role of technology in arbitral proceedings.

 

One of the most prominent international arbitration institutions driving the development and evolution of this field is the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). ICC arbitration is recognized as one of the most credible and widely used methods for resolving commercial disputes globally. ICC continuously revises and updates its arbitration rules to align with the changing needs of international trade and legal frameworks. The amendments introduced in the 2021 ICC Rules of Arbitration, including enhanced transparency, greater procedural flexibility, expanded use of virtual hearings, and integration of modern technologies, have further strengthened the ICC’s position as a leading institution in international arbitration.

 

This event is tailored for:

  • Young arbitration practitioners looking to sharpen their skills and deepen their knowledge.
  • Legal professionals eager to understand arbitration trends specific to Iran.
  • Experienced practitioners keen to connect with and mentor the next generation of arbitration leaders.
