Enforcing International Arbitral Awards and Challenging Them
A structured, applied course in enforcement and challenge of awards — designed to be used the week you return.
Course Overview
The commercial risk in enforcement and challenge of awards usually sits in clauses nobody reads until something fails. A contract governing challenge of awards that nobody administers is a document, not a control. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about the wider legal and contractual practice agenda. This programme builds enforcement and challenge of awards from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of the legal and contractual practice discipline rather than to abstract argument. A common pattern is strong design of challenge of awards paired with weak follow-through. The programme suits teams tackling enforcement and challenge of awards together as readily as individuals attending alone. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better challenge of awards is rarely technical. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this aspect of legal and contractual practice that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
