Reports on London’s Commercial Court and from major arbitration institutions have confirmed London as the most popular forum for international dispute resolution, with English law remaining the top choice for the resolution of international disputes.
English law is commonly preferred for governing law clauses in international contracts because it is based on well-founded principles, transparent and provides predictability of outcome, legal certainty and fairness. English law respects parties’ freedom to contract and is supportive of commerce, which is reflected in its popularity.
