This panel explores key issues clients (and their counsel) should consider when entering into a transaction, particularly in a cross-border setting, and the importance of integrating transactional and dispute resolution expertise during the contract drafting process, to foresee and address potential risks, and once a dispute arises. Join us to discuss how proactive collaboration can safeguard clients and ensure smoother cross-border operations and efficient resolution of disputes in the Americas. Moderator:
