Get ready for London Arbitration Week 2026

Geopolitical risk and force majeure will be among the topics discussed at this year’s London Arbitration Week, taking place from 30 November to 4 December

The use of artificial intelligence in arbitration, clients’ views on costs and the disputes likely to shape the coming decade will also come under scrutiny.

The flagship conference, ‘Arbitration redesigned: innovation, trends and the next chapter’, will be held at Guildhall, London, on 2 December. Juliet Blanch, an arbitrator at Arbitration Chambers and Vice President of the ICC International Court of Arbitration, will deliver the keynote address.
