Brexit: Implications for Dispute Resolution After EU-UK Transition Ends

Winston & Strawn Partner Ben Bruton recently shared his perspective on the impact Brexit has had on dispute resolutions with The International Bar Association. Ben highlighted some of the trends he has seen in the wake of the transition period, stating: “We are seeing a trend whereby multinationals are becoming more open-minded to including arbitration clauses in their contracts.”

Ben added that he recommends using exclusive jurisdiction clauses, rather than non-exclusive or asymmetrical clauses, to improve the enforceability of a resulting UK judgment within the EU27 or to improve enforceability of EU27 court judgments within the UK.
