We will decipher the issues in arbitrations brought by venture capital funds when they seek to exit from an equity investment. Our panel will share their insights and vast experience with unique perspectives from arbitrators, counsel (both international counsel and local counsel) and quantum experts.

Join us for an in depth discussion on various issues arising from international arbitration cases where venture capital funds seek to exit from their investment.

Topics to be discussed include: (1) managing the parties expectations of the arbitration process; (2) working out a timetable with effective control and efficiency; (3) obtaining securities / freezing orders; (4) preparing for the hearings and cross-examination / expert conferencing; and (5) the useful mechanisms and procedure under the ICC Rules of Arbitration that facilitate the process.
