Alumni & Friends of the School of International Arbitration
In October 2010, the School of International Arbitration completed its survey on Choices in International Arbitration.
The 2010 International Arbitration Survey, sponsored by White & Case LLP, is one of the largest independent empirical studies ever conducted on corporate attitudes and practices regarding international arbitration and the largest of the three surveys conducted by the School (the first two surveys were published in 2006 and 2008).
The 2010 Survey returns to the core of the arbitration process. It focuses on the key factors that drive corporate choices about arbitration: how are decisions made about arbitration, who influences these decisions and what considerations are uppermost in the minds of corporate counsel when they negotiate arbitration clauses. It also considers other key aspects such as the appointment of arbitrators, confidentiality and time and delay.
The findings of the 2010 International Arbitration Survey are available on the SIA's empirical research page.
