The Straw that Stirs the Drink - Governing Law in International Commercial Arbitration

Guest Speaker - Timothy Nelson, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom

The choice of governing law in a contract often is not controversial at the deal stage, but once a dispute ends up in arbitration, it assumes potentially critical importance.   The presentation will address some of the practical issues in choosing between English law and New York law – told from the perspective of a lawyer/advocate who has practiced in both systems – as well as some other frequently-used candidates for governing law.
