This time on "No Disputing That," I am joined by Paul Sills, an internationally renowned arbitrator, mediator, and trainer. Paul and I discuss what really happens in international commercial arbitration.

Paul emphasizes the importance of not growing complacent, and we also delve into the question of whether online arbitration is becoming the norm.
