The highly successful 4th Athens International Arbitration Forum, which was held on 19 October 2023, had “States and State Entities in International Arbitration” as its main theme. Ballas, Pelecanos & Associates L.P.C. were, once again, proud golden sponsors of the event that attracted leading arbitration practitioners, international arbitrators and academics.
Our Senior Partner, Gregory Pelecanos, participated as a panel member on the third session, which addressed issues concerning “Representing Parties against States and State Entities”. His contribution focused on “States' interference with the arbitration process: The weaponization of the Judiciary by States in arbitration proceedings”.
