ICC Arbitration Forum - Arbitration 4.0: Pharma & Tech Disputes

09 Nov 2022

Frankfurt am Main and online English
Start: 15:00 (CET)

Flexible, dynamic and on the pulse of time – these attributes suit the pharmaceutical / life science industry as well as the technology sector. And they should also fit arbitration proceedings in these areas! In light of this, our invited experts will discuss current challenges and the particular client expectations in these areas.

About the event series: From May to November 2022, ICC Germany is organizing the ICC Arbitration Forum together with the ICC International Court of Arbitration, partners and national and international experts. The Forum brings together experts and an international audience to discuss current issues and pressing questions in international arbitration while providing insights into the daily practice of companies, organizations and academia.
