Course Overview

Most contractual disputes about international commercial arbitration are decided by what was written, not what was intended. Legal exposure on the legal and contractual practice capability accumulates through routine decisions taken without advice. Participants apply this area of legal and contractual practice to their own contract portfolio throughout, so the output is directly usable. They acquire practical criteria for judging when international commercial arbitration is working and when it is only appearing to. The most reliable predictor of sound this aspect of legal and contractual practice is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Improvement in this area of legal and contractual practice stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. It establishes a shared vocabulary for international commercial arbitration so that teams can disagree productively about it. It is written for people who have to make the legal and contractual practice discipline work with the resources they already have. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the legal and contractual practice capability that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
