At the heart of Europe, the city of Brussels stands out as a seat for international arbitration. The European capital offers some unique advantages and meets all the requirements for an efficient, secure and accessible resolution of your commercial disputes in an atmosphere of trust, confidentiality, open-mindedness and multilingualism. The Belgian arbitration law is based on the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration, and greatly favours the practice of arbitration. CEPANI is Belgium’s prime arbitration institution and the gateway to the Belgian arbitration community.
