Law Society Skillnet has announced details of its latest seminar on international arbitration, after an inaugural webinar on the topic held late last year.

This seminar is run by Law Society Skillnet in collaboration with Arbitration Ireland, AADR Committee of the Bar of Ireland, and the Law Society Alternative Dispute Resolution Committee.

‘International Arbitration in Ireland: The Arbitration Agreement – Procedure and Practice’ will take place by Zoom webinar on Tuesday, 26 April (5pm-7pm).

Practical elements

Under discussion will be several academic, procedural and practical elements of the arbitration agreement, which will give practitioners a detailed understanding of its importance as the jurisdictional cornerstone of the arbitral process.

The event will also cover the legal requirements for a valid agreement, and best practice in drafting agreements.

Topics and issues:

• Foundations of the arbitration agreement,
• Validity of the arbitration agreement,
