The reform modernised French arbitration law while preserving its distinctive features, including the liberal treatment of international arbitration and the strict separation between domestic and international arbitration regimes. The 2011 reform codified and clarified the case law developed by the Paris Court of Appeal and the Cour de cassation, reinforcing France&rsquo;s position as a leading arbitration-friendly jurisdiction and confirming Paris as a major seat for international arbitration.</p>
