8th annual Luther Lecture: Arbitration in the Time of Crisis - Is it still delivering its promises?
Date: 7 April 2025, 6.30 – 8.00 pm (CET)
Venue: Bucerius Law School, Jungiusstraße 6, 20355 Hamburg
Vladimir Pavić (University of Belgrade, President of BAC) will discuss the question: Arbitration in the Time of Crisis - Is it still delivering its promises? Anti-suit and anti-arbitration injunctions and obstacles to enforcement of awards and decisions seem to have become the norm, rather than the exceptions. The underlying question is whether arbitration can still fulfill its promises as an efficient and effective means of resolving east-west disputes, and what needs to be done before the situation improves.

Bucerius HIAD Conference 2025: Taking Evidence in International Arbitration - European and (Latin) American perspectives
Date: 8 April 2025, 1.30 – 6.30 pm (CET)
Venue: Bucerius Law School, Helmut Schmidt Auditorium, Jungiusstraße 6, 20355 Hamburg
Fees: 30 EUR (Conference), + 135 EUR (Conference Dinner + Drinks)
Most cases turn on the facts rather than on the law. Thus, the taking of evidence to establish the facts is of crucial importance in many arbitral proceedings. At the same time and despite all harmonization efforts by the IBA, the rules and practices often differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Afterwards, join colleagues from around the world for a Networking Dinner in the impressive and historic Hamburg "Bunker" - originally an air defence fortress, now a vibrant urban landmark!
