The 45th ICC Institute of World Business Law Conference, held in Paris on 14 November 2025, has just concluded after a highly engaging edition that brought together leading practitioners, academics, and experts from across the international arbitration community. This year’s theme, “Monetary Remedies in International Arbitration,” offered a rich platform for substantive and forward-looking exchanges.

As part of this program, Caroline Duclercq, partner of Medici, contributed to one of the conference’s key sessions: Panel: “The Devil in the Detail”: she participated in this in-depth discussion alongside Sirshar Qureshi, focusing on two frequently underestimated components of arbitral awards: the arbitration costs and interest, and the evolving approaches adopted across different jurisdictions.

The session was co-chaired by Chié Nakahara and Michael Polkinghorne, who steered the debate with their recognised expertise and added valuable perspective to the conversation.

This year’s conference once again demonstrated the ICC Institute’s central role in shaping contemporary arbitral thought and fostering high-level dialogue among practitioners worldwide.

Medici is proud to contribute to these important discussions and to support ongoing reflection on key issues in international dispute resolution.
