Lunch Discussions: Taming the Beast: Users Call for Restraint and Limitations on Document Production in International Arbitration

In this session, several of the whitepaper’s authors will share the motivation behind the project and its core findings. Together with experienced external counsel and arbitrators from diverse legal traditions, we will discuss: which tools users have at their disposal at the contracting stage to shape and limit document production, what arbitral tribunals and counsel can do to manage document production once proceedings are underway, and how arbitral institutions can help safeguard efficiency in arbitration.
