In German arbitral proceedings, the arbitrators will share their 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗲.    For German lawyers, this is a normal thing to do but for lawyers from other jurisdictions, it can be awkward to learn that preliminary view in the middle of the proceedings.   Dr. Elke Umbeck, Partner at HEUKING, shared her perspective on this practice at our event “Mastering Contract Negotiations and Dispute Differences”.   While standard in German proceedings, it is often met with scepticism elsewhere. Elke’s insight? These preliminary assessments are not final decisions; they represent transparent, open sharing of views, guiding parties to navigate the arbitration process more effectively.   🎥 Watch the full recording from the event on SCC’s YouTube channel: https://lnkd.in/dX6FP8cM
