The Federation of Indian Corporate Lawyers (FICL) continues to expand its global engagement by supporting the Global Arbitration & Litigation Conference 2026, a premier international forum dedicated to the evolving landscape of dispute resolution.
Scheduled for 23–24 April 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand, the conference will convene a diverse and influential cohort of arbitrators, in-house counsel, policymakers, and dispute resolution professionals from across jurisdictions. Hosted at the Asawin Grand Convention Hotel, the event is designed as a high-impact platform for dialogue, collaboration, and strategic exchange on the future of arbitration and litigation.
Over two intensive days, the conference will examine how dispute resolution mechanisms are adapting to rapid global shifts—ranging from geopolitical realignments and economic integration to technological disruption. With Asia emerging as a central hub for cross-border commerce and dispute resolution, the discussions will carry particular relevance for stakeholders operating in increasingly interconnected legal ecosystems.
The agenda reflects the complexity and breadth of contemporary disputes. Key focus areas include cross-border disputes within ASEAN and enforcement strategies, construction and infrastructure conflicts arising from large-scale projects, and the growing competition among arbitration hubs in Asia. The role of technology—particularly artificial intelligence and digital transformation—will also feature prominently, alongside sessions on corporate investigations, white-collar compliance, and litigation funding.
Further, the conference will address sector-specific disputes such as maritime, trade, and logistics conflicts, as well as intellectual property challenges in the digital economy. Emerging areas like ESG and climate litigation are expected to draw significant attention, highlighting how sustainability considerations are reshaping legal risk and accountability. Discussions will also extend to crisis management, governance in multinational corporations, and the evolving role of legal professionals—including arbitrators, litigators, and in-house teams—leading up to 2030.
A globally representative faculty comprising experts from law firms, arbitration institutions, corporations, and academia across Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America will contribute to these discussions, ensuring a comprehensive and comparative perspective.
For members of FICL, the conference presents a valuable opportunity to engage with international best practices and build meaningful professional networks. Members are eligible for exclusive delegate privileges, including a special discounted participation fee of USD 499.
