Three International Arbitration Trends To Watch In 2018

New York Partner Hunter Carter was quoted in an article published by Law360 regarding international arbitration trends to watch in 2018. Mr. Carter specifically spoke with Law360 about an increased focus on diversity in the field of international arbitration.
