Winston & Strawn’s 2020 Guide to International Arbitration

The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the global economy and markets, causing businesses to face significant disruption to business operations, supply chains, and contractual obligations. Companies around the world are entering an unprecedented era of uncertainty, and a rise of disputes related to the coronavirus outbreak is anticipated. Now, more than ever, it is vital that companies conducting cross-border transactions, investing abroad, or entering into contracts with foreign governments, understand the dispute resolution mechanisms available to them, should an issue arise.
