Ryan Manton will speak at a debate on “What is the impact, if any, of geopolitical crises on international arbitration?”, hosted by Sciences Po Law School and Wordstone Dispute Resolution as part of Paris Arbitration Week 2025.
The conference will feature two debate panels offering an in-depth exploration of how current geopolitical tensions shape the role and decision-making of international arbitrators.
Ryan will debate the issue, “Given the current geopolitical situation, arbitrators must consider granting relief different from damages to render their decisions more effective”, alongside fellow panellists Clément Fouchard (Reed Smith), Esperanza Barron Baratech (De Gualle Fleurance), and Dr. Ioana Knoll-Tudor (Addleshaw Goddard). Carine Dupeyron (Darrois Villey Maillot Brochier) will moderate the session.
The event will take place on Wednesday 9 April, from 3:30 pm to 6:00 pm, in Paris.
