France continues to be an arbitration-friendly jurisdiction. It has developed a legal system which strongly supports domestic and international arbitration, underpinned by a solid tradition of non-interference by French courts in the arbitral process. France is a signatory to many international and European conventions which aim to simplify the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards. Several arbitration institutions have their seat in France, including the globally renowned International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). This Q&A guide, written by Paris-based Morgan Lewis partners Alexandre Bailly and Xavier Haranger and published by Thomson Reuters, provides a structured overview of the key practical issues concerning arbitration in France, including mandatory provisions and default rules applicable, confidentiality, French courts' willingness to assist arbitration, enforcement of awards and the available remedies, both final and interim.
