We are delighted to share that several members of our team have contributed to the recently released VIAC Handbook – Rules of Arbitration and Mediation: A Practitioners Guide, Third Edition | Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory, which will soon also be available on Kluwer Arbitration.

In this leading practitioners’ guide, our colleagues have authored and co-authored commentaries on following key provisions of the Vienna (Investment) Arbitration and Rules:

• Philipp A. Peters: Art. 38 (Decision on Costs); and together with @Alice Fremuth-Wolf, Art. 42 (Advance on Costs), as well as Art. 43 (Advance on Costs for Additional Procedural Costs)
• Alice Fremuth-Wolf: together with Stavros Brekoulakis, Stefan Kröll and Stefan Riegler, Art. 13a (Third-Party Funding); and together with Niamh Leinwather and Jessica Puhr, Art. 44 (Composition and Calculation of Procedural Costs); as well as together with Elisabeth Vanas-Metzler, Annexes 4 and 5 on VIAC as Appointing and Administering Authority
• Michael Hofstätter & Sarah Böck: Art. 7 (Statement of Claim), Art. 46 (Disclaimer and Waiver of Immunity), Art. 47 (Entry into Force and Transitional Provisions)
• Veronika Korom: Art. 26 (Language of the Proceedings)

Their contributions form part of a comprehensive, article-by-article commentary covering the full lifecycle of arbitration and mediation proceedings under the Vienna Rules, including recent developments such as third-party funding, procedural efficiency, and cost structures. We are proud that our team actively contributes to shaping one of the leading reference works in international arbitration.

Congratulations to our colleagues.
