Behind the Scenes in International Arbitration

Though arbitration has become a big business, its proceedings are not open to the large public, because of their confidential - and sometimes opaque - nature. Thus, the book offers the perspective of an insider, outlining some behaviours of the various players in the arbitration stage. The players identified in the book are (a) the Parties, (b) the outside counsel, (c) the in-house counsel, (d) the arbitrators, and (e) the arbitral institutions. A separate chapter is devoted to each one of these players, ending with a “memo” summarizing the behaviours to be avoided.
