Introduction
The BVI is an increasingly popular arbitral seat supported by a
modern pro-arbitration legal framework, modern arbitration
facilities, and a world-class arbitration institution of its own in
the form of the BVI International Arbitration Centre
("BVIIAC"). The ready availability of
BVI legal expertise for any such arbitration under the supervision
of the well-respected BVI Courts provides added comfort for parties
seeking a dispute resolution venue in a stable jurisdiction.
Asian companies, investors, and high net worth individuals have
been among the most frequent users of the BVI Courts and BVI legal
practitioners for many years. As a result, the BVIIAC users can
rest assured that they are dealing with a modern arbitral
institution well-versed in the unique attributes of the Asian
market and a supervisory court comprising judges who handle
disputes with an Asia nexus on a regular basis.
