The 2010 International Arbitration Survey by the School of International Arbitration at Queen Mary College, University of London, represents one of the largest empirical studies ever undertaken of corporate attitudes and practices regarding international arbitration. The focus ? key factors influencing corporate decisions on international arbitration.
The 2010 survey sees a much broadened territorial scope to include emerging venues such as Singapore together with the established venues of London, Paris, Switzerland and New York.
The key factors influencing international arbitration identified by the survey are not surprising ? governing law, seat of arbitration, choice of arbitral institution, and appointment of an arbitrator.
