FOREWORD

MILOŠ OLÍKChairman of National Committee of the ICC Czech RepublicPartner at ROWAN LEGAL

ROSTISLAV PEKAŘChairman of Arbitration Commission at ICC Czech RepublicPartner at Squire Patton Boggs

Dear participants, distinguished speakers and guests,

We would like to heartily welcome you to the online ICC Prague Arbitration Day 2021. This is our third annual conference and we hope that the event will be an even greater success than in 2018 and 2019, when we had the pleasure of hosting more than 100 participants each year.

The theme for this year’s conference - “How to Effectively Manage Arbitration” - is somewhat of an evergreen topic, along with the current intensively discussed issue of “Modern and Innovative Approaches to Case Management”. Undoubtedly, COVID-19 is one of the factors that has had a considerable impact on arbitration proceedings, as distant case-management elements have been widely introduced.

We will thus focus on the implementation of new technologies in arbitration proceedings, cost efficiency, the settle-ment of disputes and the peculiarities of proceedings involving public entities in (international) commercial arbitration.

More than ever, users of arbitration worldwide need a respected and continuously evolving institution, which the ICC Court certainly is. It has recently updated the ICC Rules, which aim to ensure that ICC arbitration is even more efficient and cost-effective. Apart from the institutional side, despite the pandemic, we believe that Prague remains an excellent seat for international arbitration. We have experienced arbitrators and counsel, as well as interpreters, translators, and other support staff here, who can provide their services both in person and remotely, if needed. From our own experience, having arbitration in Prague can cost parties much less compared to London, Paris or Vienna.

We are grateful for your continuous support and decision to spend this day with us. In addition, to benefit most from the extensive knowledge and experience of our prominent speakers, we hope you will actively participate in the discussion.

We would also like to sincerely thank our sponsors who are supporting this event.

Enjoy the ICC Prague Arbitration Day 2021 and see you in Prague next spring at the latest, hopefully in person at last.
