CIArb New York Branch invites you to the New York’s inaugural Arbitration Week event on 'Restatement of the Law Third, The U.S. Law of International Commercial and Investor-State Arbitration'.
The Reporters of the Restatement of the U.S. Law of International Commercial and Investor-State Arbitration will lead panel discussions on key issues that were the focus of debate or controversy during its decade-long development.
George A. Bermann FCIArb, Professor of Columbia Law School and Reporter for the Restatement, will lead this program.

- “Delegation” of gateway issues
- Forum non conveniens
- Interim measures as arbitral awards
- Grounds for vacatur of awards made in the U.S.
- Arbitration on a class basis
- Manifest disregard of law
- Discovery under 28 U.S.C. § 1782
