We are pleased to invite you to this year’s ICC Germany Arbitration Forum at Schlosshotel Kronberg near Frankfurt am Main for an exchange with Claudia Salomon, President of the ICC International Court of Arbitration, as well as arbitration experts and practitioners.
The ICC International Court of Arbitration plays a leading role in the avoidance and resolution of cross-border disputes. With innovative approaches and the further development of proven procedures and standards, it is adapting to the changing needs of businesses and markets.
At Schlosshotel Kronberg, we will discuss the following topics with the experts:
– Proactive conflict management: dispute avoidance and de-escalation through internal policies and ADR champions?
– Risk analysis through decision trees: real added value or pseudo-science?
– Alternative dispute resolution mechanisms
– Settlements in arbitration: the parties‘ or the arbitrators‘ task?
We look forward to welcoming you to the Schlosshotel Kronberg and discussing innovative ways of resolving disputes in international business relationships.
