Advice and perspectives on dispute resolution in Nigeria and forging a career in the field with Funmi Roberts FCIArb. Funmi served as Chairman of the National Committee on repealing and re-enacting Nigeria’s Arbitration and Mediation Act (the AMA), which gained assent on 26 May 2023. The AMA reforms Nigeria’s legislation on arbitration, and replaces conciliation with mediation provisions, thereby providing a legislative framework for Mediation in Nigeria.

Paolo Marzolini MCIArb explores the protection granted by the New York Convention (NY Convention) and the Singapore Convention on Mediation (Singapore Convention) to complex situations where an interplay exists between mediation and arbitration.

In 2023, Ciarb launched Let’s Discuss… a series of virtual events hosted by members to discuss topics and issues that matter most in private dispute resolution worldwide. The series provided members with an opportunity to debate topical issues around adjudication, mediation, technology, diversity and inclusion. It enabled members to share insights, learn from peers and make new connections.
