In July 2026 the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators produced a Report on Party-Appointed Expert Witnesses in International Arbitration: Effectiveness and Best Practice. This report sets out learnings from professional experience across different legal traditions and sectors combining qualitative and quantitative inputs including a global survey of 419 responses from arbitrators, expert witnesses, external counsel and internal counsel.
The objective of the report was to uncover recurring themes, points of convergence and areas of persistent divergence across the stakeholder groups. From those learnings, parties and tribunals may be given a range of options including a menu of potential procedural orders that might be incorporated into their arbitration as may be appropriate.
Our expert panel will explore the themes of the report from the perspective of the parties, the arbitral tribunal, the external counsel, the expert and the supervising court. The panel will share experiences to enable all stakeholders in an arbitration to have more procedural choices and be better equipped to manage the complexities of expert evidence in a tailored manner suitable for each individual case.
