Event Overview

Join the CAREC Institute and the Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI) for an insightful online dialogue on how effective Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms can unlock greater investment and trade in the dynamic Central Asia region.

As foreign direct investment and cross-border commerce grow, so does the need for reliable, neutral, and enforceable ways to resolve disputes. This webinar will explore the critical role of arbitration, mediation, and other ADR methods in mitigating risks, building investor confidence, and creating a predictable legal environment essential for sustainable economic growth.

Featuring leading experts from international arbitration centers and regional institutions, the session will provide valuable perspectives on the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in ADR. The discussion will offer practical insights to navigate the complexities of cross-border engagements.
