IBA APAG Event: Exploring the use of IBA Rules and Guidelines in Asia and the rise of artificial intelligence in international arbitration
22 Feb 2024
Session information
Session three - A review and discussion of the IBA Guidelines on Party Representation and its use in Asia
Thursday 22 February (1700 - 1730)
Description
Party representatives in international arbitration often hail from different legal backgrounds. Their behaviour may be subject to the bar rules of their home jurisdictions, but not all representatives are members of a bar and not all bar rules are applicable to arbitration proceedings conducted in a foreign jurisdiction. Thus, counsel acting in the same case might not be subject to the same rules of conduct, potentially creating an unlevel playing field when it comes to possible sanctions for misconduct. There is broad consensus that this situation should be addressed.
