In this short video in our Observations on Arbitration series, Mathias Wittinghofer, Partner in our International Arbitration practice, considers the role of the state courts at different stages of an arbitration. Mathias discusses how the courts can support the arbitral process in various ways, including in relation to appointing or challenging arbitrators. He also considers the role of the court in jurisdictional challenges and on enforcement of an award.
For more information on arbitration, please contact Mathias Wittinghofer, Partner, or your usual Herbert Smith Freehills contact.
