This course will provide practicing lawyers who have not previously studied international commercial arbitration with a basic overview and will refresh the memories of those who have undertaken some previous study in this subject. The course, which addresses the drafting of arbitration clauses in international commercial contracts as well as the international framework of international commercial arbitration, and the procedure and conduct of international commercial arbitrations after a dispute has arisen, will allow practitioners to better advise their clients in an increasingly international commercial world.

Although the course focuses primarily on international commercial arbitration, both state-to-state arbitration and investor-state arbitration, as well as complementary alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, will also be addressed.

WilmerHale partner Gary Born and WilmerHale counsel Thomas Snider will be the featured speakers for this webcast entitled "Introduction to International Arbitration."
