Conflict of jurisdictions in international arbitration: Resolving the forum

Partner Gautam Bhattacharyya and associate Catherine Lewis explore common circumstances that lead to conflicts over jurisdictions in international arbitration. Jurisdictional problems impact a whole range of entities (such as international firms operating in many jurisdictions) and contractual arrangements (such as multiple contracts that may overlap in time, geography and/or subject matter). The duo discuss what happens when a breach of arbitration agreements occurs, how to enforce arbitration agreements and whether this will be a continuing feature of international arbitration.
