Disputes Involving States and State-Owned-Entities: ADR or Bust?
Join us for an insightful event taking place in Hong Kong. This gathering will delve into the complexities of resolving disputes involving states and state-owned entities, with a particular focus on the growing role of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms. As cross-border disputes involving state-owned enterprises (SOEs) become increasingly common, the need for efficient, flexible, and neutral dispute resolution methods has never been more critical. This event will bring together legal experts, practitioners, and scholars to explore the practical applications of ADR in these contexts, addressing challenges and the balance between public and private interests. Whether you are a legal professional, arbitrator, or simply interested in the evolving landscape of international dispute resolution, this event offers a unique opportunity to engage in thought-provoking discussions and gain valuable insights.
