How do you secure the best possible arbitration agreement for your company or client, while bearing the business objectives in mind and making sure that the corporate policy is followed?

For anyone who has faced these questions, we welcome you to the HKIAC Arbitration Clause Negotiation Workshop in Frankfurt.
