WRITTEN BY A VERITABLE WHO’S WHO OF INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION

Mr Neil Kaplan is one of the world’s most eminent international commercial arbitrators. This Liber Amicorum is a rare anthology: a dialogue between leading international arbitrators from around the world. It is a view from the arbitral bench and contains insights from the perspective of the arbitrator. The dialogue is informed by pragmatism and day-to-day experiences. Arbitrators present their cutting-edge arbitral methodology. The way forward and controversial developments are analysed. Mr Kaplan’s pioneering role in Hong Kong, now at the forefront of international and Asian arbitration, is highlighted. It will be a welcome addition to any commercial arbitration library.
