While the governing law of the main contract is typically subject to careful negotiation, the law applicable to the arbitration agreement is often left unspecified—a gap that may sometimes lead to uncertainty and disputes. This panel will explore how recent decisions and developments in different jurisdictions have impacted questions about the law applicable to arbitration agreements. Panelists will also offer practical guidance for parties seeking to ensure predictability in this regard when drafting arbitration agreements.
