We are privileged to have been invited to preface the 2024 edition of ICLG International Arbitration, one of the most comprehensive comparative guides on the practice of international arbitration available today. The Guide is in its 21st edition, which is itself a testament to its value for practitioners and clients alike. Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP is delighted to serve as the Guides Contributing Editor. As the international business community continues to embrace international arbitration as a means of resolving international commercial disputes, it is critical to maintain an accurate and up-to-date guide regarding relevant practices and legislation in a variety of jurisdictions. The 2024 edition of this Guide accomplishes that objective by providing global businesses leaders, in-house counsel, and international legal practitioners with ready access to important information regarding the legislative frameworks for international arbitration in 32 individual jurisdictions. It also surveys national and regional practices concerning international arbitration from the perspective of leading and experienced practitioners in these jurisdictions. This 21st edition of the Guide will serve as a valuable, authoritative source of reference material for lawyers in industry and private practice seeking information regarding the procedural laws and practice of international arbitration, provided by experienced practitioners from around the world.
