The Silicon Valley Arbitration and Mediation Center held its board meeting in London on June 17, 2026, during London International Disputes Week. The organization appointed David McIlwaine, a partner at Pinsent Masons, as membership chair.
McIlwaine will lead efforts to broaden SVAMC's membership and strengthen ties with practitioners in international arbitration centers. The board also reviewed recent programs held during Paris Arbitration Week and a May 2026 event with the SCC Arbitration Institute on artificial intelligence in arbitrator selection.
SVAMC plans to hold future board meetings in Hong Kong and Seoul.
The group is exploring additional programs tied to the Seoul Arbitration Festival and the International Bar Association conference in Vienna. "Artificial intelligence is changing how businesses operate, how contracts are negotiated, and increasingly how disputes arise and are resolved," said a SVAMC representative.
