Description
Site visits are frequently used in energy, mining and construction arbitrations and can be an essential evidentiary tool in international arbitrations. This session is targeted at arbitration lawyers, industry-specific legal practitioners, as well as experts, and will highlight the practical, legal and strategy considerations at play when conducting site visits in arbitration proceedings. Drawing on work conducted by the IBA Arbitration Committee Working Group on Site Visits, the session will also cover current best practice and lessons learnt from past site visits, including how the audience can benefit from the brand new tool IBA Site Visit Model Protocol.
