London leads on international arbitration

According to a global survey conducted by White & Case in collaboration with the School of International Arbitration at Queen Mary University of London, London has been reaffirmed as the preferred location for international arbitration, with 34% of respondents selecting it as their top choice. Following London are Hong Kong and Singapore at 31%, while Beijing and Paris follow with 20% and 19%, respectively. The report also highlighted a growing interest in AI tools for arbitration, with 90% of respondents expecting to utilise them for research and data analytics, although there remains significant resistance to their use in tasks requiring discretion due to concerns over errors and bias.
