Obtaining an arbitral award may be the end of an arbitration, but can often be the start of a new process: enforcing and executing the award. In this webinar we have assembled a diverse panel of lawyers, a financial investigator and a disputes funder to provide a guide to enforcement in Asia’s two great powers (and two of the largest users of Singapore arbitration): China and India. They will explain not only the legal regimes applicable in each country, but look at the practicalities of enforcement, including how to identify assets in the first place and the use of third party funding to assist in the process.
Webinar participants will be able to watch and listen to (via computer audio or telephone line) the video presentation and Q&A discussion on their screens, receive a PDF copy of the presentation slides, as well as participate in the Q&A discussion by sending in their questions to the moderator via text using the built-in Q&A function.
