Particular attention will be paid to managing counsel, controlling costs, and building in-house capacity to handle complex arbitration proceedings effectively. The discussion will also address ongoing reform efforts at the multilateral and regional levels, highlighting opportunities for greater balance, transparency, and inclusiveness in the system.
