Partner Jonathan Lim will speak on a panel titled “The policy in favour of international arbitration – is the pendulum swinging back?” at Global Arbitration Review’s GAR Live: Singapore 2025 on August 28.
The session will explore the evolution and current application of what is often referred to as the “pro-arbitration policy” in international arbitration. Featuring leading counsel from key jurisdictions, the panel will examine significant court rulings and legislative developments that illustrate this policy. The discussion will also consider the varying interpretations and implementations of “being pro-arbitration” across different legal systems.
Panelists will discuss:
- The evolution and current state of the pro-arbitration policy
- How the policy is applied across different jurisdictions
- How arbitrators and practitioners anticipate the policy will evolve
- Challenges posed by divergent interpretations across legal systems
GAR Live: Singapore will bring together leading arbitrators, private practitioners, funders, expert witnesses, and general counsel in interactive, timely panel sessions, discussing the topics affecting international arbitration in the region, including key local developments, trends and challenges. WilmerHale is a proud sponsor of the event.
