The decision on the seat of arbitration is one of the most important choices parties can make due to its legal consequences. The seat, lex arbitri, determines the law governing the procedure of the arbitration, whether the award can be set aside, the supervisory court over the arbitration, and the validity of the arbitration agreement. The place of arbitration also determines where the award is made, in other words, the “nationality” of the award for purposes of the New York Convention.
