Meet Our Dispute Resolution Team in Arbitration Events in May

Helsinki International Arbitration Day (HIAD)

HIAD is an annual arbitration and dispute resolution event in Helsinki organised by the Arbitration Institute of the Finland Chamber of Commerce. This year the event is being held on August 26 at Restaurant Pörssi.

This year’s event has been divided into three topics: digitalisation and cybersecurity in arbitration, the future of arbitration from the perspective of companies and the role of mediation in international disputes. The speakers at the event are leading arbitration experts both from Finland and abroad.

The Arbitration Institute of the Finland Chamber of Commerce is an independent body promoting the resolution of commercial disputes in arbitration. It administers domestic and international arbitrations governed by its rules and appoints administrators and mediators. Castrén & Snellman partner and co-head of our Dispute Resolution service Marko Hentunen is the vice-chair of the board of the Arbitration Institute.
