International Arbitration and ADR China Conference

Nov 28~29, 2012   JW Marriott Hotel | Beijing, P.R.China

Why this event

With the rapid grow of global FDI and M&A, businesses are in great needs of both cost-effective and commercially oriented avenue to resolve various disputes. However, it’s often the case that traditional litigation may not be the most appropriate method of resolving commercial differences, and that is when commercial arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution has proved highly successful in resolving commercial differences.

So this November, Wolters Kluwer invites leading arbitrators from world’s major sites of arbitration and well known scholars to share their experiences and insights in Beijing China. Hot topics and  questions will be collected before the conference from both corporate counsels and arbitration practitioners, which will be grouped into themes and allocated to the working sessions for open debate under the expert guidance of the moderators. This conference will ensure you get both updates on the development of arbitration and ADR in the region and the practical hands-on knowledge for your dispute resolution strategy.
