The New Trade Wars: Navigating Tariffs, Sanctions, and Arbitration Across Borders

Date: Thursday 04 December, 2025
Time: 4:30pm - 6:00pm
Location: International Dispute Resolution Centre Ltd (IDRC), 1 Paternoster Ln, London, EC4M 7BQ

Presented by JAMS in collaboration with the Society of English American Lawyers (SEAL), New York-London Arbitration (NYLON), and the Center for International Commercial and Investment Arbitration at Columbia Law School (CICIA).

Trade and geopolitics are colliding in ways unseen in decades. Across the U.S., UK, Europe, and Asia, governments are increasingly using tariffs, sanctions, and industrial policies as strategic tools - reshoring production, securing supply chains, and responding to geopolitical and climate challenges. The result: disrupted global commerce, fractured supply networks, and a surge of cross-border disputes testing the limits of existing contracts and legal frameworks.  

This panel will bring together leading arbitration and trade practitioners from major economic centers to examine how these new trade measures are transforming the landscape of international dispute resolution.
