Aníbal Sabater, a Partner at Chaffetz Lindsey and Member of our Club, led a discussion on An Arbitrator's Obligation to (try to) Issue an Enforceable Award: Achmea and Beyond -- focusing on what the obligation means in practice--including whether it is being used as an excuse to run processes inefficiently--and how the recent ruling in Achmea has given it an unexpected new life. Chris Alberti, Chief of ADR for the Saudi Center for Commercial Arbitration and Member of our Club, led a discussion on the Saudi Center for Commercial Arbitration and Recent Developments in Saudi Arbitration Law, focusing on regional initiatives and their impact on arbitration in the Kingdom and in the U.S.
