Three international conferences are taking place this year on the theme «The Synergy and Divergence between Civil Law and Common Law in International Arbitration». The first conference was held in Dubai in March 2017 which looked at the Middle Eastern and Asian point of view. The second event took place in Johannesburg in July which covered issues relating to the African continent.
The European and American angle will be considered in the final and concluding conference to take place in Paris on 7-8 December 2017. This two-day conference will showcase lectures and panel discussions, and feature important speakers in the arbitration world.
