We have witnessed a paradigm shift where the containment of disputes is a strong focus for international trade and investment. Given the constant upheaval that the world now faces, it is our role as leaders in the legal industry to “think big and be bold” for our clients. RESOLVE is a platform for global heavy hitters to provoke, challenge and encourage the industry to drive change for a sustainable future.”
On the day, delegates will also be given a glimpse of technology innovation driven by ADGM. ADGM Courts recently announced the first-ever blockchain technology to be used in the global enforcement of commercial judgments. This unique solution publishes judgments to the blockchain, enabling enforcing commercial courts to verify the authenticity of judgments, revolutionising every aspect of the enforcement process. The ADGM Arbitration Centre is also developing the world’s first “mediation in the metaverse” service which reimagines the delivery of mediation across the globe.
