Roadshow: „Financial disputes resolved in arbitration;
Vienna - Gateway into Europe”
Assisted by renowned Asian and Austrian arbitration and financial law experts, a series of seminars will be held by VIAC and local partners from 14th October to 21st October 2014 in various East Asian capitals (Hong Kong, Beijing, Seoul and Tokyo). These seminars are focusing on the resolution of financial disputes in arbitration (most of them) in the form of a comparative case study under EU Law. The panelists will consider various techniques and tools applied by counsels, arbitrators and institutions and their effect on time and cost, jurisdiction, multi-party arbitration, expedited procedure, court assistance and enforcement, as well as consolidation and joinder.

Representing one of Europe’s leading arbitral institutions, the Vienna International Arbitral Centre (“VIAC”) serves as a focal point for the settlement of commercial disputes in the regional and international community. The VIAC was founded in 1975 as a permanent arbitral institution of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber (“AFEC”) and has since then enjoyed a steadily increasing caseload from a diverse range of parties spanning Europe, the Americas and Asia. Lying in a neutral country in the centre of Europe, the VIAC offers its services in the settlement of international disputes. The arbitral proceedings are individually designed according to the parties’ requirements and meet the highest quality criteria. VIAC administers international cases involving at least one party with its place of business or normal residence outside of Austria or cases concerning disputes with an international character.
The VIAC has administered over 1,500 proceedings since its inception and is thereby one of the most experienced arbitration centres in the region. The VIAC benefits from a robust global network of leading arbitrators experienced in international arbitration under the Vienna Rules. Austria has adopted the UNCITRAL Model Law as its law of arbitration in 2006 with minor changes thus ensuring that the lex arbitri is in conformity with international standards.
