AmCham Shanghai's Legal Committee invites you to join a commercial mediation case study workshop on Tuesday, October 27 from 9:30-12:00 p.m. at the AmCham Shanghai offices.

Shanghai Commercial Mediation Publicity Week is the only event of its kind in China and is supported by the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce. The event has been successfully held for three years and is strongly supported by the Supreme People's Court of the PRC. It's also in line with a wider shift in China in favor of commercial mediation culture and the growing popularity of a "mediation first" approach to commercial disputes.


This workshop features senior SCMC mediators, who will share their experiences from dispute resolution cases in industries including foreign affairs, state-owned enterprises, finance, intellectual property, real estate, and equity transfer.
