When Arbitration Is Not the End - Enforcing & Challenging Financial Remedies Awards

Introduction

Financial remedies arbitration is increasingly used to achieve speed, privacy and finality, but the reality is that the award is often not the end of the story. Practitioners must understand when an award will be upheld, how it can be enforced and when and how it can be challenged.

This virtual classroom seminar examines the developing case law in England and Wales, the procedural routes available to parties’ post-award, and the strategic mistakes that can turn a ‘final’ outcome into prolonged litigation.

Using three case studies, you will gain practical guidance on advising clients, protecting awards, and mounting or resisting challenges in financial remedies cases.
