Should parties and their counsel focus primarily on written submissions or on oral advocacy? Is it more appropriate for document production to follow a discovery-style approach or to be limited to individual document requests? Should the arbitral tribunal examine witnesses, or should they be subject to cross-examination? Moreover, how can we - as parties, counsel, and arbitrators - effectively navigate these differences when they arise from a legal tradition with which we are unfamiliar?
Join us for an engaging panel discussion in cooperation with HK45 featuring distinguished speakers who bridge the divide between civil law and common law on a daily basis.
