ICC YAAF: Challenges and Opportunities for Chinese Parties in Construction Arbitration – A Case Study

We will present and analyse a real life case study on the practical issues arising from an arbitration concerning a construction project in Central America involving Chinese investors. Our panel will share their insights and vast experience with unique perspectives from arbitrators, counsel (both international counsel and local counsel) and the ICC case management office in Hong Kong.

Join us for a thorough and fun analysis of the practical issues arising from a construction dispute involving Chinese parties.

Topics to be discussed include: (1) parties perceptions of the arbitration process; (2) managing and understanding the disclosure / discovery process; (3) obtaining security in respect of the claim and costs; (4) assessing when arbitrator challenges are appropriate; (5) dealing with hearings and cross-examination; and (6) ultimately ways in which the ICC Rules of Arbitration, the Secretariat and robust ICC arbitration procedures can help.
