On 23 March 2023, the Luxembourg parliament adopted a new arbitration regime, ushering in a new era of arbitration. The new law amends a large part of the code of civil procedure and implements a modern and efficient approach of arbitration in line with recent transformations adopted in neighbouring countries. Superseding a 40-year-old regime, the new law sets a balanced code for arbitration proceedings in Luxembourg and the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards. Luxembourg now has the law required to be fully recognised as an arbitration hub that meets the expectations of local and international players.
