Vilnius Arbitration Day 2022

The international arbitration conference – VILNIUS ARBITRATION DAY 2022 – has taken place in Vilnius on 16 September, 2022. The event was dedicated to Sanctions and other contemporary challenges in international arbitration. Following our successful experience at previous Vilnius Arbitration Day events, the participants from different countries have exchanged experience and discussed on leading topics in arbitration – sanctions’ related procedural issues in commercial arbitration, national security issues in international arbitration, future of arbitration, theoretical / practical challenges and other contemporary issues.
The purpose of the conference was to exchange views and practices of growing number of various unilateral restrictions (sanctions) and issues of national security that inevitably make sanctions and other state interventions related arbitral proceedings more complex.
The event brought together over 120 participants from more than 20 different countries.

VILNIUS ARBITRATION DAY – the annual arbitration conference in Lithuania, organized by the Vilnius Court of Commercial Arbitration since 2011 with the aim to discuss the newest global and regional tendencies and practice, to share the experience and to promote Lithuania as an arbitration friendly state.
