The objective of international arbitration is generally to obtain—or avoid—the payment of compensation. Yet despite being the “end game” for most arbitral actions, we often see damages treated almost as an afterthought. By the time experts are engaged, the parties may have hardened their positions to the point where there is no real alternative to proceeding on to a hearing.
This seminar will explore how attention to damages issues may be fruitful, and how clients and counsel can make the best use of their damages experts, from the initial evaluation of the case, through the development of the case and, ultimately, in the merits hearing.
WilmerHale Partner James Carter is a speaker at this conference.
