  • Hong Kong’s national security law and the new legal risks and challenges international businesses face when dealing with PRC businesses or matters implicating national security in commercial transactions and civil disputes.

  • How governing laws and traditions in Middle East arbitrations impact global business.

  • Singapore's emerging prominence for Asian arbitrations.

  • Trends in obtaining evidence, from hacked emails to WikiLeaks to a widely anticipated U.S. Supreme Court decision.
