What happens when dispute resolution clauses meet cross-border finance deals?
The expert discussion hosted by the Banking Law Forum (Forum für Bankrecht) of the Austrian Society for Bank Research (Österreichische Bankwissenschaftliche Gesellschaft) at the WU Vienna University of Economics and Business Executive Academy highlighted how decisive jurisdiction and arbitration clauses can be in international financing agreements.
Moderated by Univ.-Prof. Dr. Martin Spitzer, Florian Haugeneder shared insights from his extensive international arbitration experience, focusing on drafting effective dispute resolution clauses to navigating the challenges that arise once a financing transaction becomes contentious. A particular emphasis was given to asymmetrical dispute resolution clauses, which are typical in finance transactions.
The lively participation from the audience underscored a clear message: this topic sits at the intersection of banking, litigation strategy, and international arbitration, and remains highly relevant in cross-border financial transactions.
