HK45 Arbitration Supper Club is becoming a regular fixture on the HK45 calendar – a leading arbitrator, eight lawyers and a representative of HKIAC sit down for an informal dinner and informative discussion of arbitration issues (and anything else that comes up). For a less inhibited discussion, Chatham House rules apply and except for the arbitrator, attendees must be less than 10 PQE (no partners).
