Description

Cross-border M&A transactions often give rise to disputes both pre- and post-closing, including demands for purchase price adjustments, claims under indemnification rights and/or representations/warranties, and disputes over shareholder relations (such as rights of exit and buyout). This panel will address how disputes are resolved through international arbitration and expert determination. It will address forced closings of transactions, and resort to courts and arbitration, the choice of arbitration versus expert determination, post-closing adjustments, disputed representations/warranties and indemnification claims, fraud claims in arbitration, as well as arbitral disputes over buyout clauses, put and call options, and pre-emption rights.
