At the invitation of Gustavo Moser, Julie Spinelli and Gabriele Ruscalla of Le 16 Law have authored a news analysis for LexisNexis UK examining the principal reforms introduced by Decree No. 2026-741 and their practical implications for arbitration in France.

Effective from 1 January 2027, the reforms address proportionality, multi-contract proceedings, court support, recognition and enforcement, and electronic awards. The analysis also considers the transitional rules for arbitrations already under way.
