Business-to-business disputes involving defective products increasingly span multiple jurisdictions and industries, from construction and manufacturing to life sciences, energy and technology. This panel brings together global dispute resolution experts focused on product law to explore how alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms — particularly mediation and arbitration — are used to resolve such disputes. The session will also address the procedural and substantive complexities of gathering, presenting and evaluating evidence, including expert testimony, across diverse legal systems.
