Istanbul Arbitration Centre is delighted to host the conference “Launching your Arbitration,” jointly with the Swiss law firm Peter & Partners.

Conference Topic

Parties face legal, practical and tactical challenges right at the beginning of an arbitration. For example, they need to consider whether to present their claims and defences in the Request for Arbitration or Answer in detail or only in general terms. They also need to decide how to set out prayers for relief and to what extent to quantify claims for damages at the outset. Respondents may also need to decide whether to bring a counterclaim or to challenge jurisdiction. Importantly, parties must choose arbitrators who are suitably qualified to decide the case. Making the right choices early on will give a party a tactical advantage.

This conference brings together highly experienced speakers from Turkey as well as different common and civil law jurisdictions who will offer advice and share insights into the perspectives of both arbitrators and counsel.

Who Should Attend?

The event is intended to be practical in its approach. It will be of special interest to both arbitration lawyers and general commercial lawyers, as well as in-house counsel and business people who are involved in commercial disputes in Turkey or internationally.

This conference will be conducted in English.
