Applications have opened for the 2026 London Summer Arbitration School, a five-day training program aimed at legal practitioners and students seeking to deepen their expertise in international dispute resolution.
Organized by Arbitration Lab, the program is scheduled to run from June 15 to June 19, 2026, in a hybrid format that allows participants to attend either in person or online. The application deadline is April 30.
The course will cover core areas of arbitration practice—including commercial, maritime, construction, and commodities disputes—while also introducing participants to emerging fields such as outer space arbitration and disputes in the digital economy. Organizers say the curriculum is designed to reflect the evolving nature of global commerce and the increasing complexity of cross-border disputes.
Tuition fees range from £569 to £1,589, depending on attendance format and participant category.
The faculty includes prominent figures in the arbitration community, among them Kevin Nash, Prof. Martins Paparinskis, Prof. Dr. Yarik Kryvoi, Prof. Dr. Anna Petrig, Jonathan Waters, Professor Renato Nazzini KC, James Clanchy, Prof. Arif Hyder Ali, Greg Fullelove, Gustavo Moser, Prof. Emilia Onyema, and Oleg Shaulko.
The program is part of a broader effort by arbitration institutions and training bodies to expand access to specialized education and respond to growing demand for expertise in alternative dispute resolution worldwide.
