Joinder of third parties in international arbitration
João Duarte de Sousa
The complexity of international operations, as well as the existence of multiple contracts and the plurality of parties, often makes it necessary to involve third parties in the arbitration proceedings. Therefore, it is important to take this aspect into account when drafting the dispute resolution clause, as well as when choosing the applicable arbitration rules.
