International Arbitration Yearbook 2023-2024
Welcome to the 17th edition of the Baker McKenzie International Arbitration Yearbook. We are pleased to bring you our analysis of notable developments in international arbitration over the past year from over 40 jurisdictions worldwide.
As with the editions before it, the 2023-2024 Yearbook covers important legislative and case law updates from each jurisdiction. This includes:
• New arbitral rules from many institutions including the SCC (Stockholm), CAM (Milan), CIAM (Madrid), SCCA (Saudi Arabia), CIETAC (China), SHIAC (Shanghai), TAI (Thailand) and AIAC (Malaysia)
• The ongoing reform of arbitration legislation to reflect international best practice, including recent important developments in the UK, Germany, Luxembourg, the UAE, China, Japan and Vietnam
• The latest case law on the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards under the New York Convention, which has now been ratified in 172 jurisdictions worldwide
• Recent reforms and case law around the use of third-party funding in arbitration, addressing concerns about transparency, conflicts of interest, and control over proceedings
• Important investment arbitration cases and developments, including continued scrutiny of the Energy Charter Treaty, its impact on climate change policies, and the withdrawal of states from the Treaty.
I trust you will find our coverage of these, and many other important topics, to be of interest. Such breadth of coverage is only possible because of Baker McKenzie’s truly global presence. Our international arbitration team is the largest, busiest and most ranked arbitration team in the world and is ranked in the top 10 arbitration teams globally by Global Arbitration Review. With over 200 practitioners, we have acted in more merits hearings than any other firm, in every major center, allowing us to offer unrivaled insights into the state of arbitration right across the globe.
Finally, we extend our thanks to Paul Allanigue, Ben Roe, Niki Razon, Markus Altenkirch and Maria Barros Mota, and to our vast network of colleagues and friends who have contributed to this international team effort.
