As the U.S. and China remain locked in negotiations over ways to resolve trade tensions, what is the impact of trade war on U.S. businesses investing in, trading with, or doing business in China? For those companies that operate across borders pursuing commercial interests in the China market, what are the legal challenges, how to navigate the fast-evolving legal landscape, and how to effectively minimize legal risks in China-related transactions?

This conference is an ideal opportunity to hear from the views of several highly experienced practitioners from Fangda Partners, a leading Chinese law firm, who have steered clients through the legal challenges in the China market. The topics covered in the conference include the latest developments in M&A, the complexities of China-related antitrust issues, China’s stricter rules on data protection, China’s changing IP laws, and the most effective strategies for resolving disputes in China. Please join us for a practical insight into the tools, trends, and opportunities for overcoming the legal barriers of doing business in China. A Meet & Mingle networking reception will be hosted after the program.

What a difference SB 766 makes. Foreign and out of state lawyers can now handle international/cross border arbitrations in CA.

CA’s doors are now wide open to international commercial arbitration.

CA is no longer the inhospitable venue for international commercial arbitration that resulted from the CA Supreme Court decision in Birbrower, Montalbano, Condon & Frank vs. Superior Court (1998) 17 C 4th 119.

The passage of SB 766 will have a valuable economic impact on CA and its lawyers.

The 5 conditions which, if met, allow a foreign or out-of-state lawyer to participate in a CA seated arbitration.

The CA International Arbitration and Conciliation Act CCP Sections 1297.11 et seq.
