New York Convention

Given the New York Convention’s global relevance, it follows that the potential ‘users’ of the Convention are in need of guidance as to how to apply it. The primary target groups are lawyers seeking (or defending against) recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards worldwide, state court judges applying the Convention in recognition proceedings, and in-house lawyers in large and/or multinational enterprises dealing with transnational dispute resolution.

Dr Reinmar Wolff is Assistant Professor at the University of Marburg and practicing lawyer as well as an experienced arbitrator. The authors are specialists in arbitration and related matters.
