Covid-19 and the remote prospectus drafting and verification sessions that it promoted, have affected the way in which part of the less formal diligence process is done. In some jurisdictions nothing may have changed, but in others the changes have been profound – and they seem here to stay. Is this good, bad or indifferent? An expert panel will consider whether the market has merely developed a more efficient way of working, or whether standards risk being eroded. The panel will analyse some of the new practices from an issuer and from an underwriter perspective, and an attempt will be made to formulate practical guidelines that safeguard the interests of investors while retaining efficiency gains made during the pandemic.

The APEC Collaborative Framework for Online Dispute Resolution (the ‘Framework’) addresses the growing need for efficient and affordable resolution of cross-border B2B disputes, particularly for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises. Traditional litigation and arbitration are often too costly and slow for low-value, high-volume disputes, creating a barrier to trade. Developed by APEC with input from UNCITRAL’s earlier work, the Framework establishes a decentralised network of accredited ODR providers who offer a standardised, tiered process combining negotiation, mediation, and arbitration. Key innovations include expedited timelines, simplified procedures, a single neutral practitioner, and cost proportionality. By enhancing accessibility, reducing costs, and building trust in digital trade, the Framework supports inclusive economic growth and smoother commercial exchanges across the Asia-Pacific region.
Tickets will not be available for purchase online or on the door.
