We will be welcoming as speakers: Mr. Shashank Garg, editor of the book; Mr. John Beechey CBE, international arbitrator, Arbitration Chambers; and Professor Maxi Scherer, Special Counsel at WilmerHale and international arbitrator.
The Arbitrator’s Handbook will be introduced by Mr. Beechey, followed by editor’s comments by Mr. Garg.
