Roundtable discussion: Corruption and arbitration

Corruption remains one of the most complex and consequential challenges facing international dispute resolution today. As arbitration continues to serve as a primary mechanism for resolving cross-border commercial disputes, questions of integrity, transparency, and ethical conduct are more pressing than ever.

This roundtable brings together leading voices from the arbitration community, policymakers, and legal practitioners for a candid and solutions-driven discussion on corruption risks in arbitration, examining how the field can strengthen its defences and uphold the highest standards of integrity.

The event is part of CIArb’s Global Roundtable Series, a multi-city initiative designed to foster frank, multi-stakeholder dialogue on corruption and its intersection with alternative dispute resolution. Held in collaboration with the SCC Arbitration Institute, the Stockholm edition contributes to a broader effort culminating in a CIArb White Paper drawing on insights gathered across all roundtable locations.

Speakers will be announced shortly.

We look forward to welcoming you to this important conversation.
