Resources to assist in-house counsel with arbitration in China, Hong Kong, India, Japan and Singapore.
More and more companies are increasingly dependent on Asia to provide many of their manufacturing, personnel and other business needs. Although doing business in Asia has its benefits, companies should be prepared for potential commercial disputes with their Asian partners.
Parties to commercial transactions typically agree in advance to submit their disputes to binding arbitration (www.practicallaw.com/4-107-6426). Often, US or European companies choose to arbitrate commercial disputes before arbitral bodies located in the US or Europe. But as Asian companies gain more leverage in the global market, companies may be forced by their Asian partners to agree to binding arbitration in Asia. Many US or European companies may have little or no experience arbitrating in Asia.
The Arbitration in Asia Toolkit contains resources designed to help in-house lawyers gain a basic understanding of various aspects of arbitrating in Asia, with an emphasis on arbitrating in China, Hong Kong, India, Japan and Singapore.
