The International Distribution Institute (IDI), the Swiss Chambers’ Arbitration Institution (SCAI) and the Geneva Chamber of Commerce (CCIG) will report on their reflection, partnership and joint dispute resolution services aimed at allowing a greater time and cost efficiency for all disputes in the field of distribution (including for agency and franchising agreements), whether the amount in dispute is large or not. A list of specialized arbitrators will be revealed and a dedicated arbitration clause will be proposed, together with specific procedural recommendations.
This conference will focus on giving in-house counsel drafting distribution related contracts and managing related disputes the opportunity to ask questions, share concerns and discuss the propositions made by the IDI and SCAI teams.
Arbitrators who are not on the list will be invited to consider submitting their candidacies and members of the Selecting Committee will be present.
Confirmed speakers include:
– Prof. Jean-Paul Vulliéty
– Prof. Didier Ferrier
– Sefano Catelani
– Igor San Juan
– Prof. Fabio Bortolotti
A networking cocktail will enable participants to continue their discussions after the formal presentations.
The conference will take place in the Warwick Hotel which is very conveniently located in front of the main Geneva train station and only 6 minutes away of the Geneva airport by train.
