Abdul-Lateef Jinadu will take part in HKA’s ‘Debate – What Is Really Driving Arbitration Outcomes Today?’, taking place during Dubai Arbitration Week 2026 on Wednesday 11 November.
The event will consider how advances in AI, increasing volumes of data and evolving approaches to advocacy are reshaping the way disputes are investigated, evidenced and presented.
Michael Tonkin, Partner at HKA, will open the session with a keynote exploring the forces increasingly shaping arbitration outcomes and their implications for the future of disputes.
The keynote will be followed by an Oxford-style debate on the motion: ‘This House believes the use of AI by experts enhances, rather than undermines, expert evidence.’
Abdul-Lateef will join Igor Corelj, Partner at HKA; Alan Wakim, Director at HKA; Shourav Lahiri of Atkin Chambers; and Cesar Pereira, President of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. Clare Lavin, Partner at HKA, will introduce the session.
The panel will examine the implications of AI for the independence, reliability, transparency and credibility of expert evidence, and what counsel, experts and tribunals should expect as its use becomes increasingly embedded in dispute practice. The audience will be invited to vote on the motion before and after the debate.
The session will conclude with networking drinks and canapés.
Date: Wednesday 11 November 2026
Time: 6.00pm–7.30pm GST
Location: Capital Club, Dubai
