LCIA YIAG: Fighting the Disclosure Battles in International Arbitration: Continental and Common Law Perspectives
Venue:
Ellex Valiunas
J. Jasinskio g. 2, Vilnius
Organizers:
LCIA YIAG
Ellex Valiunas
Fishing expedition or fair game? Join us for an LCIA YIAG interactive discussion on one of the most contentious features of international arbitration – document disclosure – where common law expectations of expansive production meet a far more limited continental approach. Opened by Prof. Dr. Maxi Scherer, President of the LCIA, our panel of practitioners from both traditions will explore where these instincts collide and offer practical insight into how parties and tribunals can navigate competing procedural cultures. Expect strong views and a rooftop overlooking Vilnius to continue the conversation.
