Description
As global trade relationships shift and economic blocs harden, businesses are facing unprecedented complexity in how they operate across borders.

Attendees will gain insights into the disputes landscape that is rapidly taking shape, and what in-house and external counsel need to anticipate as global trade tensions continue to rise.
