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.
