In light of changes in market structures and transaction models, serial disputes are increasingly becoming prevalent. Unlike single disputes, serial disputes pose greater challenges to the management of arbitral proceedings. This requires arbitral tribunals, institutions, and the disputing parties to adopt a broader perspective and conduct an overall assessment, thereby developing a systematic and consistent dispute-management process. It helps to effectively control arising issues in the course of resolving multiple disputes that share the same nature and legal issues.
Based on the identification and screening of prominent issues and trends in arbitral dispute resolution, the Vietnam International Arbitration Centre (VIAC), in cooperation with law training institutions, will continue to organize the Arbitration - Mediation Symposium (abbreviated as the “AMS”). Notably, in 2026, AMS will be held concurrently in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, with enhanced investment in both scale and quality. Under the main theme “Serial Disputes – Trends, Practice, and Emerging Issues”, AMS 2026 will analyze and discuss the trends, features, and legal challenges in serial disputes. In addition, practical experiences of dispute chains in certain sectors, together with key legal issues, will be reviewed and discussed. This aims to provide a comprehensive picture of dispute developments and to propose appropriate solutions for the effective management of this category of disputes.
