Main Goal

In the age of globalization, companies can easily find themselves involved in international arbitrations. From the initial phase of selecting arbitration as a mechanism for settling cross-border disputes to the final phase of recognition or challenge of an arbitral award, international arbitration can either be a costly effort or a source of earnings and like any other business must be handled through project and risk management tools.

This course will give professionals the necessary tools to rationally plan the management of cross-border disputes their companies are involved in, choosing the various strategic options, allocating the necessary resources and monitoring costs.

Who Is It For

International arbitration and risk management is for anyone who wishes to expand her/his knowledge on matters related to international arbitration, understand the most effective ways to manage them from an in-house and client-oriented perspective, fully assess the risks and opportunities, as well as stay up to date on the best international practices.

The target class is made of in-house counsel who wish to gain or refine their training in the field, as well as project managers and professionals in market sectors that are more exposed to international disputes (like contracts for large-scale projects, Private Equity/M&A, Oil & Gas supply). Furthermore, the course is targeted towards lawyers from Italian and international law firms working in arbitration who wish to further explore this subject and interact with some of the most well-known professionals in the field.

Is international arbitration a complex, risky and costly procedure that a company must avoid at all costs? Not really! International arbitration can become a source of earnings and opportunities on the condition that in-house counsel and external consultants manage it as a business project, by understanding the specifics of cross-border disputes and effectively allocating the necessary resources to handle them.
