A Live Look at Interim Measures: From Theory to Practice

Join us for an engaging and practical session during Hong Kong Arbitration Week, exploring the critical topic of interim measures in international arbitration.

The event will begin with a panel discussion featuring leading arbitration practitioners and experts who will share insights into recent developments in China, HK and Singapore, strategic considerations, and procedural nuances surrounding interim relief in international arbitrations.

Following the discussion, attendees will have the opportunity to observe a live demonstration of a mock application for interim measures before a tribunal. This interactive segment will simulate real-world dynamics and advocacy, offering valuable perspectives from counsel and arbitrators alike on how such applications are argued and assessed in practice.

This event is ideal for practitioners, in-house counsel, and arbitrators looking to deepen their understanding of interim measures and their practical application in arbitral proceedings.
