Clifford Chance

In the third episode of our Australian arbitration podcast series, counsel Robert Tang, and associates Alexandra Zhu and Stephanie Brown, explore the circumstances in which an arbitration agreement might be extended to third parties.

In light of the increasing complexities in commercial agreements, it is becoming more and more important to consider whether, and if so how, an arbitration agreement might be extended to third parties.  We hope our thoughts on this interesting topic, particularly in light of the recent Australian High Court decision of Rinehart and Hancock, will spark a broader discussion amongst our listeners.
