2024 SVAMC New York Arbitration Week Program: Intriguing Issues in Tech and International Arbitration
November 19 @ 8:00 am - 9:30 am
Join SVAMC and Alston & Bird for an interactive panel discussion on issues in technology and international arbitration.
Topics to be discussed include:
- CLAUSE CARVEOUT – Is it appropriate or advisable in arbitration agreement to include carveouts for IP related issues such as patent validity or infringement?
- UNCITRAL SPEDR CLAUSES – Do the UNCITRAL SPEDR Clauses Make Sense for Tech Disputes – The UN’s newly released specialized express dispute resolution (SPEDR) clauses include provisions for extremely short arbitrations, parallel expert determination, and technical advisors to arbitrators. Does the tech sector need all this?
- INSTITUTIONS OVERRULING STIPULATIONS – Is it appropriate for an institution to provide in its rules that a particular procedural aspect of its rules overrules the arbitration agreement of the parties?
- ARBITRATORS FOCUSING EXPERTS – Is it appropriate for an arbitrator with background and knowledge, who believes the parties and/or experts are not addressing relevant issues or are clearly giving erroneous testimony, to question the experts as to their testimony or to request testimony or evidence on issues not addressed?
- ESG IN TECH DISPUTES – The growing focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues within arbitration raises questions about how to balance ethical considerations with business interests. Should ESG be a consideration in technology arbitrations?
ARBITRATORS ASKING FOR PARTY FEEDBACK – Is it appropriate for arbitrators to solicit feedback from counsel after the award is final, any challenge period to challenge has expired, and the matter is concluded?
