Organised by Dr Vanina Sucharitkul (Chair of CIArb Thailand Chapter) and representatives from the THAC, the panel was moderated by Dr. Roland Amoussou (author of “The Seat is King”).

The Speakers include:

• • Jurisdiction: Hong Kong – Emi Rowse (Igusa), Kudun and Partners
  • Jurisdiction: Singapore – Ian Johnston, Clyde & Co
  • Jurisdiction: London – Thawalkorn Pattanachote, DLA Piper
  • Jurisdiction: New York – Edward Thiravej Ploysongsang, Ployprathip International Law Office
