Looking back at Tallinn Arbitration Day 2024

The 2024 edition, held on 3 October at the Club of Different Rooms in Tallinn, brought together 29 speakers from across Europe and beyond. José Feris (Squire Patton Boggs) opened the day with a keynote, followed by four panels on Baltic arbitration trends, default tactics in arbitration, the energy transition and public international law.

Side events with Young ICCA, DIS and the Swedish Arbitration Association, and a closing conference dinner, rounded out the week.
