Bucerius HIAD Conference 2025

In person

Taking Evidence in International Arbitration - European and (Latin) American perspectives

Most cases turn on the facts rather than on the law. Thus, the taking of evidence to establish the facts is of crucial importance in many arbitral proceedings. At the same time and despite all harmonization efforts by the IBA, the rules and practices often differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

The Center for International Dispute Resolution at Bucerius Law School, the CAM-CCBC, HAC and Rechtsstandort Hamburg e.V. cordially invite you to join the debate on some of the salient problems in taking evidence in international arbitration and existing harmonization efforts.

Special conditions for students: For students the participant fee for the HIAD Conference can be waived. To apply for such a waiver, please send an email to nina.erbach@law-school.de. The waiver applies only to the HIAD Conference itself, not the Networking Dinner.
