Conflagration: Hot Issues in International Commercial Arbitration

Just as Charles Darwin would say, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, but rather, that which is most adaptable to change.” Constant disruption has become the norm, if we fail to adapt to the tectonic shifts in our commercial reality, we can become irrelevant. The best legal professionals are those who are quick to adapt to our new normal in this post pandemic landscape.

OVERVIEW

Many of our clients are in the business world. They can come from different areas such as construction, wholesale distribution, manufacturing, importing, exporting, retail, fashion, tourism and every business you can imagine. No business this day lives in nationalistic isolation or what Gary Born would call a “parochial mindset.”

As parties enter into contracts with a party who may be abroad. Perhaps you may be a lawyer for the government in which government is involved in a large commercial transaction involving a foreign company. You may be involved in drafting contracts for your client. You will have to make sure that we draft such contracts in the best interests of our clients and that we can enforce our claims against counterparties who may be thousands of miles away from our shores. Or perhaps we could resist a claim enforced against our client.
