TOPIC:  The “Do’s And Don’ts” of Drafting Arbitration Clauses When Doing Business with Chinese Parties

Doing business with a Chinese party presents unique opportunities and also challenges – this also applies to drafting an arbitration clause in a commercial agreement. During this presentation, speakers will help in-house counsel navigate through the specific factors to consider to ensure the effectiveness and enforceability of an arbitration clause in China. When can a foreign party arbitrate in or outside China? In which situation can a foreign party opt for an arbitral institution or an ad hoc arbitration? What other China-specific requirements must be considered?

David Hall-Jones, Managing Partner – Asia David is a dispute resolution lawyer who represents international companies in both domestic and international arbitrations. He is currently advising a Canadian oil and gas development company in a US$1.8 billion ad hoc arbitration against a major Chinese oil company.
