International Arbitration Insights

22 September 2005

Welcome to the September edition of Clayton Utz International Arbitration Insights. In this edition we look at why a new set of rules could make Australia an even more attractive seat of arbitration.

We'll also see that investment protection treaties can actually work, enforcing an award in Australia, and the special aspects of insurance arbitration.

Finally, is there a way to get commercial settlement and reconcile the parties' business interests? The answer is yes, and we'll learn more in our annual International Arbitration Lecture in October.
