2025 International Arbitration Survey: ‘The Path Forward: Realities and Opportunities in Arbitration’

This is the fourteenth major empirical International Arbitration Survey conducted by the School of International Arbitration, Queen Mary University of London. 

The Survey considers both current practices and future opportunities for the system of international arbitration and key aspects of the arbitral process, as experienced by its users. The Survey aims to gather the views of the international arbitration community as a whole, and not just the views of any particular group within it. All stakeholders, therefore, are invited to share their perspectives, regardless of whether their experience with international arbitration is based on activities as a private practitioner, in-house counsel, arbitrator, academic, or through work for an arbitral institution.

The White & Case Post-Doctoral Research Associate at CCLS for this project was Dr Thomas Lehmann.

The Survey is now closed for submissions.

The report and results will be announced in the coming months on this website.
