Partner Chris Kinnear Hunter will speak at the International Bar Association (IBA) Arb40 Symposium in Toronto on November 2. Held in parallel to the IBA Annual Conference, the symposium brings together arbitration practitioners and students under 40 to discuss emerging challenges in international arbitration.
Chris will speak on the panel “Legitimacy in urgency: reassessing the role and use of emergency arbitration” at 12:30 p.m. The panel will explore how emergency arbitration has been utilized by parties and administered by institutions, highlighting advantages, common challenges, and recurring concerns. It will also consider shifting expectations around the process, and whether emergency arbitration continues to fulfill its original purpose.
