Jeffery Commission to speak at Washington Arbitration Week

Jeffery Commission, Director at Burford Capital will speak during the Washington Arbitration Week panel “New Developments in Third-Party Funding in International Arbitration” hosted by Steptoe. The session will take place on October 9 at 12:00pm EST in Washington DC. 

This panel aims to provide a timely and critical examination of how third-party funding is reshaping international arbitration. The discussion will highlight recent institutional reforms and practical experiences from funders, counsel and arbitrators. Panelists will explore how arbitral rules are adapting to the realities of funding, what standards of disclosure apply, how tribunals should manage the risk of bias or inequality of arms, and how funders themselves are evolving in response to legal and regulatory shifts.

Washington Arbitration Week (WAW) provides an organic D.C. forum in international arbitration for its legal community and the international and foreign community connected to it. WAW will further advance the analysis and discussion of developments reflected in arbitral awards, treaties and international instruments at the forefront of international arbitration.
