Upcoming webinar - International Litigation Update

On Tuesday 18 October (12noon - 1.00pm UK time) we will present the first in a new series of webinars for Herbert Smith Freehills clients and contacts, focussing on the issues that arise in litigating cross border disputes. In this webinar:

• Larry Shore, a disputes partner in our New York office, will consider ways of obtaining evidence in the US for proceedings in England. Very broad disclosure is potentially available under 28 USC s1782 and Larry will discuss the opportunities and challenges this brings.
• Gitta Satryani, a disputes senior associate in our Singapore office, will consider the impact made by the Singapore International Commercial Court, launched in January 2015. She will also discuss changes in the rules for enforcement of Singapore judgments since the Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements 2005 came into effect on 1 October 2016.
• Anna Pertoldi, a disputes partner in our London office, will look at  choice of law and jurisdiction post Brexit and the different options available to the UK government in its negotiations with the EU.

The webinar is part of our series of “Soundbite” webinars, which are designed to update clients and contacts on the latest developments without having to leave their desks. The webinars can be accessed “live”, with a facility to send in questions by e-mail, or the archived version can be accessed after the event.
