This CLE webinar will discuss recent developments, evolving issues, and trends in arbitration, including ZF Automotive US Inc. v. Luxshare Ltd., ___U.S. ___ (June 13, 2022), and Coinbase Inc. v. Bielski, __ U.S. __, (June 23, 2023), and how they affect both arbitration and litigation strategy going forward. Among other topics, the program will review arbitration against and by nonsignatories, escalation clauses, arbitrability, challenges to enforcement, and the role of artificial intelligence and machine learning on strategy.

Description

The U.S. Supreme Court continues to issue decisions that are of significant importance to the shape and conduct of arbitrations and raise questions on issues such as privacy, time, cost, flexibility, settlement, and finality.

For example, the Court recently held that non-signatories can be forced into arbitration and also compelled to arbitrate. GE Energy Power Conversion France SAS Corp. v. Outokumpu Stainless USA L.L.C., __ U.S. __ (2020). Escalation clauses continue to raise questions about jurisdiction and admissibility.

Artificial intelligence is predicted to be a game changer by allowing parties to predict how arbitrators will rule on a global basis, which means that the decisions/awards now have value as a data asset, a development some contend will make arbitration less private.

Listen as our authoritative panel discusses recent developments, evolving issues, and trends in arbitration, as well as how these will affect litigators and litigation strategy.
