Overview
Presented by Young ITA
Sponsored by Pinsent Masons
Supported by CIETAC Hong Kong and ICC YAAF
In an era of significant geopolitical shifts, how are US regulatory policies and sanctions reshaping the landscape of dispute resolution in the Asia Pacific? In recent years, there have been significant changes in international relations, trade policies, and economic strategies. These shifts have led to the strengthening of various security alliances, efforts to diversify global supply chains, changes in sanction programs and trade policies and new dynamics in foreign investment patterns.
Join us as our expert panel delves into the impact that US investments, sanctions and other regulatory policies have had and may have for parties with cross-border business interests in the Asia Pacific region. This session offers valuable insight on practical strategies for parties to pre-empt, mitigate and resolve related dispute risks.
