【2019香港仲裁周】9th Annual GAR Live Hong Kong

Date: 23 October 2019

Time: 08:30 - 17:10

Venue: Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre
(38/F Two Exchange Square, Central, Hong Kong)

Overview

GAR Live Hong Kong returns for its ninth edition this year, bringing together top practitioners from Hong Kong and across Asia for the full-day event. Including GAR Live favourites like the year in review and the yum cha chat, our panels will be looking at the most significant developments, rulings and new tools in the region. From practical advice for dealing with witnesses, to guidance surrounding crackdowns in financial crime enforcement, this conference will be addressing what issues are at the forefront of the field – and sitting on the desks of practitioners - today. This extends to a projection forwards: what do the next generation in IA care about, and how will this shape the practice for the future?
