Enforcing Arbitral Awards in the Digital Age: Strategy and Pitfalls under the New York Convention

This event will explore how arbitral awards are recognised and enforced across jurisdictions, and the key defences available under the New York Convention. The speakers will begin by outlining the fundamentals of arbitral awards and the enforcement framework, before turning to practical and strategic considerations that arise when enforcement is challenged. An interactive element will invite participants to engage with hypothetical scenarios to identify potential enforcement obstacles and defences. The discussion will then move to emerging, technology-driven challenges in enforcement, including issues such as AI-generated arbitral awards, concerns of undisclosed delegation and procedural irregularity, risks of factual inaccuracies, and the growing problem of deepfakes and synthetic evidence. The session aims to combine doctrinal clarity with forward-looking insights into how technology is reshaping enforcement disputes. Very limited capacity, please register early. We hope that the session will be interactive, and hence sought to keep the sign-ups limited.
