Join our workshop: From Boilerplate to Strategy: Choosing the Right Rules and Designing Clauses That Actually Work

2 June 2026

Join us for a workshop co-hosted with WilmerHale entitled “From Boilerplate to Strategy: Choosing the Right Rules and Designing Clauses That Actually Work”.

Date & Venue

  • 10 June, 9:00-12:00
  • Hotel Indigo Warsaw – Nowy Świat (ul. Smolna 40)

Łaszczuk & Partners and WilmerHale (London) join forces to offer a practical look at the strategic drafting of dispute resolution clauses. This workshop goes beyond standard templates, focusing on how to draft arbitration clauses that are both effective and intentionally tailored to the clients’ specific business context. During this interactive workshop, we will explore the differences between major arbitral institutions and their rules (such as SAKIG, SA Lewiatan, ICC, SIAC, VIAC, SCC, and LCIA), and show how those differences should inform the way clauses are drafted in practice, sharing hands-on insights from the perspective of both counsel and arbitrators.

In addition to an engaging workshop, there will be time for discussion and networking over coffee and snacks.

Key topics include:

  • Differences between arbitration rules and recent updates (i.a. costs, expedited procedures and appointment of arbitrators)
  • How to design clauses that maximize effectiveness and avoid common drafting pitfalls
  • The practical value (and limits) of multi-tier clauses involving negotiation or mediation

This will be a practical, application-oriented session, designed to help you turn “boilerplate” clauses into deliberate, informed drafting choices that provide a real strategic advantage in any future disputes.

Further details of the programme are available on the event website.
