Asked by City AM to comment on the U.K. government’s Arbitration Bill, which seeks to “support more efficient dispute resolution, attract international legal business [to London], and promote UK economic growth,” Gibson Dunn partner Piers Plumptre noted that “the Bill will be positive for London seated Arbitrations but will have very little impact on the London litigation market more broadly, which continues to thrive.” The bill was one of 40 new laws announced by the U.K. government in today’s King’s Speech. #Arbitration #UK #KingsSpeech
