Highlights from CanArb Week 2021: The 2021 ICC Canada Conference – Leaning into the Future

As part of Canadian Arbitration Week, the 2021 ICC Canada Conference, titled Leaning into the Future, was designed to facilitate critical thinking and debate on several important topics in international arbitration. The focus of the conference was decidedly post-pandemic, exploring fault lines and cleavages in the system of international arbitration as we know it today, potential developments in arbitration as artificial intelligence becomes more familiar and trusted to deliver a fair process capable of fair outcomes, and additional regulation of third party funding to address conflicts and other concerns.
