The fully revised and updated edition of the Guide to Dispute Resolution will be published in May 2010. To reflect this increased exposure, the editorial coverage of the Guide will be broadened to encompass detailed discussion of the regulatory and legislative issues within the banking, capital markets and corporate sectors.
The 2010 Guide to Dispute Resolution will be an invaluable information resource for IFLR and asialaw.com’s influential regional and global readerships.
