Our Partner, Nitin Jain, represented Agama Law Associates at the 2024 HKIAC Global Event, where leading minds from around the world convened to explore important arbitration trends and the evolving legal landscape across cultures. The Role of AI in Arbitration The use of AI in arbitration was one of the key points of discussion and debate, highlighting how arbitrators have already begun utilizing AI in the arbitration process. A real-time walk-through experience was shared as well. China's Rise in Arbitration and Cross-Cultural Comparisons The event highlighted China’s impressive rise in arbitration, with approximately 35,000 cases filed with renowned arbitration institutions last year in PRC Mainland and HK, many of them being resolved through conciliation. This shift underscores a move towards a more collaborative approach in the Eastern legal system, in contrast to the Western preference for individualistic dispute resolution rooted in 18th-century thought. Korea’s legal landscape was also a focal point, showcasing a more cautious approach influenced by fiduciary duties, which led to hesitancy in settling disputes. Additionally, the event presented fascinating cross-cultural legal similarities, particularly the shared principles between French laws and common law countries. Diversity in Arbitration and Governance Trends The new HKIAC 2024 rules, emphasizing the inclusion of co-arbitrators to promote diversity in arbitration, were a significant topic of discussion. The differences in document retention policies between civil and common law systems also stood out, sparking conversations around governance and accountability. #HKIAC2024 #GlobalArbitration #LegalInnovation #ChinaArbitration #KoreaLegalSystem #CrossCulturalLaw #ArbitrationTrends #EasternLegalSystems
