Arbitrating Emergencies in Banking and Finance Disputes – The Commercial and Investment Arbitration Perspectives

On December 10, Winston & Strawn International Arbitration Associate Imad Khan moderated “Arbitrating Emergencies in Banking and Finance Disputes – The Commercial and Investment Arbitration Perspectives,” a webinar hosted by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution Young & International. 

Despite the wide array of cases and the benefits of arbitration for the resolution of financial disputes, financial institutions often opt for litigation in major centers, such as London and New York. However, the trend has seemed to change recently, especially in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, which prompted the parties to view arbitration as a viable alternative for litigation. Given the current pandemic and the potential for another financial crisis, the panelists will discuss how the issue of emergency is viewed in the context of commercial and investment arbitration.
