Cardium Law at New York Arbitration Week 2025: Strengthening international connections in global dispute resolution

Chief Executive Matt Clark and Chief Operating Officer Chris MacQueen travelled to the United States to participate in New York Arbitration Week — an international event that brings together practitioners, academics, funders and stakeholders from across the arbitration world.

About New York Arbitration Week

NYAW is organised by the New York International Arbitration Center and other key institutions in the field.

The week features

• Expert seminars on emerging trends in commercial, construction, and investor-state arbitration
• Panel discussions addressing procedural innovations, case strategy, funding, and new legislation
• Networking events that connect global law firms, in-house teams, funders, brokers, and arbitral bodies
• Workshops and forums designed to foster collaboration across borders

The event is a significant platform for dialogue on the future of global dispute resolution, particularly relevant as commercial disputes grow more complex and cross-border collaboration becomes essential.

Cardium Law’s Participation

Matt Clark and Chris MacQueen attended high-level seminars on arbitration trends affecting construction, business, and finance disputes.

They met with litigation funders, brokers, and New York attorneys, strengthened Cardium’s expanding network across the US legal and funding landscape, and explored new opportunities for collaboration in both arbitration and high-value litigation.

Their attendance reinforces Cardium Law’s commitment to engaging with the international arbitration community and ensuring that our clients benefit from the latest thinking, connections, and strategic approaches emerging within major global hubs.

Why International Engagement Matters

As disputes increasingly cross jurisdictions, having strong relationships in key markets such as New York enables Cardium Law to:

• Stay informed on global procedural and legislative developments
• Access wider networks of expertise, including specialist counsel and funders
• Better support clients involved in cross-border commercial or construction disputes
• Bring international best-practice insight back to the UK market

Looking Ahead

Cardium Law remains focused on building a globally connected practice capable of supporting clients with complex, high-value matters wherever they arise. Our engagement at New York Arbitration Week is a meaningful step in furthering those relationships and strengthening our international footprint.

We look forward to continuing our work with the practitioners and partners we met, and exploring new avenues of collaboration across the USA.
