Key Topics
Recent fluctuating trade policies in the US give rise to several questions related to the valuation of damages in international arbitration. The webinar will address how changes in trade policies can alter economic conditions, which in turn affect the financial metrics used in damage calculations. These fluctuations can lead to shifts in market demand, alterations in supply chain dynamics, changes in risk assessment, and variations in currency exchange rates, all of which are critical elements in the framework of damage valuation. Key questions addressed during the webinar include:
- How can changes in US trade policies affect the different valuation methodologies in international arbitration – in particular the income and the market based approaches?
- How can arbitration professionals adapt to the evolving trade environment to ensure accurate damage assessments?
- What role can arbitrators play in navigating the complexities introduced by fluctuating trade policies?
- How does the experience of valuation experts enhance the accuracy of damage calculations?
- Can historical precedents guide current arbitration practices in light of recent policy changes?
- What are the potential long-term impacts of these trade policies on global arbitration practices?
Attendees of this program may submit live questions for a Q&A session with the panelists.
Please note that this session will be recorded and may be made available by JURIS Publishing after the event. Audience members will not be visible in the recording.
