August 14, 2006 Full PDF
Partner Les Fagen and associate Dan Thacker published an article, "Choice of Law and Interpreting Contracts In International Commercial Arbitration," in the August edition of Mealey's International Arbitration Report. The article examines some of the similarities and differences in approaches to contract interpretation in common law and civil law jurisdictions, and then looks at the rules and practice governing how these approaches are applied in international commercial arbitration. The article is based on a presentation given on April 18, 2006, at an International Arbitration Symposium sponsored by Japan's Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry, the International Bar Association and the Japan Federation of Bar Associations.
