How can institutional arbitration meet the evolving needs of businesses working across India and the EU? And how can technology strengthen efficiency while preserving trust in the process?

The ICA–SCC Arbitration Institute Conclave will bring together arbitration practitioners, corporate counsel, business representatives and institutional stakeholders to exchange practical perspectives on cross-border dispute resolution. Together, we will explore how efficient, reliable arbitration can help businesses navigate different legal systems and build lasting commercial relationships.

At the heart of the programme is a strategic dialogue on “India–EU Dispute Resolution in a Changing World: Trade, Investment, Technology and Arbitration”, covering:

• The evolving India–EU trade and investment landscape and its implications for businesses and their legal counsel.
• Efficient, cost-conscious arbitration that responds to commercial needs.
• The opportunities and challenges of AI in arbitration, including confidentiality, reliability and procedural fairness.

Speakers

• Arun Chawla, Director General of ICA
• Petra Menander, Ambassador of Sweden to India
• Rajiv Mani, Secretary, Legislative Department and Department of Legal Affairs, Ministry of Law and Justice, Government of India
• Caroline Falconer, Secretary General of the SCC Arbitration Institute.

Caroline Falconer will also join the strategic dialogue alongside Niclas Widjeskog, Partner at CMS Wistrand in Sweden and member of the SCC Council for Swedish Arbitration, and Benjamin Wells, Partner at Belgravia Law in London and member of the SCC Arbitrators’ Council. Neha Shah, Senior Group Legal Counsel, Ericsson India Private Limited, has been invited to contribute.
