Join ICC YAAF and YMCIA for a unique event on doing business in India and learn from experienced leaders how to structure contracts effectively, mitigate risks and manage cross-border disputes!

In the wake of the EFTA-India Free Trade Agreement, India has become a key destination for investment. Yet companies must learn how to navigate the opportunities and challenges of the world's fastest-growing business market. Join ICC YAAF and YMCIA for a practical discussion featuring experienced business leaders, in-house counsel and legal practitioners who will share first-hand insights on doing business in India. The panel will explore key features of such cross-border relationships, cultural challenges and effective contracting strategies for Swiss companies, including dispute resolution mechanisms and practical approaches to resolving disputes. A networking reception with drinks and authentic Indian food will follow, allowing us to continue the conversation while enjoying a small taste of India!

 

Venue: VISCHER AG, Schützengasse 1, 8001 Zürich, Switzerland.
