Arbitration & ADR in Tax-Related Corporate Disputes - An Advisor’s Guide

Introduction

Arbitration is increasingly becoming a key mechanism for resolving complex tax-related corporate disputes, particularly in the context of cross-border transactions, contractual risk allocation, and multi-party structures.

For practitioners in tax, commercial litigation, and arbitration, it represents a strategically important - yet still underutilised - tool within the broader dispute resolution landscape.

During this new virtual classroom seminar, barrister Jivaan Bennett will explore the practical application of arbitration and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in tax disputes, focusing on when arbitration is appropriate, how dispute resolution clauses should be structured in transactional documentation, and how multi-party disputes can be effectively managed.

This session will also be valuable for accountants and other professionals involved in transaction structuring and tax risk assessment.
