In its 4rd edition this year, PAW is a key industry event hosted in the home of international arbitration connecting a diverse and dynamic professional community. The annual event brings together the international arbitration community during a week of academic debates and professional exchange with over 60 official events, welcoming over 2,000 participants from all over the world.

As part of this year's programme, Herbert Smith Freehills will be hosting a seminar on "Reflections on autonomy in international arbitration".

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak the PAW has been postponed. Herbert Smith Freehills will inform you of the new date of the conference as soon as possible.
