Poorly drafted arbitration clauses—so-called “pathological clauses”—continue to cause costly, avoidable disputes for companies operating across borders. These errors often lead to unenforceability, delays, or conflicting outcomes.

In this practical panel discussion, we explore the latest developments that make arbitration clause drafting more critical than ever. From the HKIAC 2024 Rules to the 2025 Mainland–Hong Kong GBA interpretation, and the surge in AI, ESG, and multi-contract disputes, corporate lawyers must update their playbooks. 

The panel will also draw on Practical Law’s arbitration content library to spotlight recurring drafting risks and solutions. You'll leave with a sharper lens on how to future-proof your clauses, whether reviewing templates, negotiating contracts, or advising on complex deals, and sanctions. Our panel will explore the practical implications for corporate compliance, strategies for mitigating legal and reputational risk, and how to respond proactively to the evolving U.S. enforcement environment in Asia.
