Virtual Arbitration and Mediation of Complex Cases: Lessons Learned (SVAMC Webinar)
As the pandemic continues to disrupt the legal practice, conducting all or parts of a hearing virtually has become a daily reality for the arbitrators, mediators and parties. This “new normal” has required many adjustments. A panel of neutrals advocates and virtual industry specialists will discuss lessons learned when conducting hearings, often comprising as many as 40 or more participants and hundreds of exhibits, including whether it is appropriate to mandate virtual hearings over the objection of a party; testing the credibility of witness testifying remotely; virtual hearing test sessions and protocols; ensuring confidentiality and security; time management; issues impacting third-party providers; overcoming technology challenges; and the continuing role of virtual platforms post-pandemic. The panel will present the differing perspectives of advocates and neutrals concerning these and other issues.

‘International Arbitration and the COVID-19 Revolution’ (Part 1 of 2)
The COVID-19 pandemic has exerted an unprecedented impact on individuals, entities, businesses, and states. National court systems and alternative dispute resolution regimes have also been severely affected. Yet, international arbitration has demonstrated itself to be both adaptable and resilient throughout the crisis and emerged more strongly positioned as a method of dispute resolution for a number of reasons that are explored in the book International Arbitration and the COVID-19 Revolution.

First Impressions of a Virtual Hearing at ICSID
COVID -19 has certainly posed various challenges for those involved in international arbitration proceedings, which arbitrators, counsel and parties have sought to overcome through, in part, the enhanced use of technology, including greater reliance on teleconference and video conference facilities, which have had to replace in-person meetings. The need to adapt to regular working practices has been onerous enough, but the challenges have been particularly acute for those who had planned to hold in-person hearings during the lock down period. For those arbitrators, counsel and parties, the question has been whether the hearing should be postponed, to an indefinite time in the future, or should proceed, in an online format, through the use of technology.
