Wednesday, May 15, 2024 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM

Event Location: Zoom & Baker McKenzie

Grant Hanessian and Galina Zukova, a Paris arbitrator, will discuss their experiences helping to organize the Arbitration and Mediation Center of Armenia (AMCA), which began operations at the end of last year principally funded by the European Union, and issues confronting arbitration institutions in CIS countries. Grant is the first president of AMCA’s Arbitration Council, and Galina is a member of AMCA’s Arbitration Council, and a Vice-Chair of the Arbitration Council of the Georgian International Arbitration Centre

We will also be welcoming Serena K. Lee, the new CEO and President of CPR. In addition to introducing herself to those members who have not yet met her, Serena will be sharing her initial thoughts on the future of CPR. She will discuss the creation of CPR’s Dispute Resolution Services (DRS) division and its implications for the Institute’s mission. She will also provide some insights into the CPR Roster of Distinguished Neutrals. Finally, she looks forward to hearing from the members who would like to share their perspectives on the role that CPR has played in the past and how it may best serve the legal community, given its unique role as an organization dedicated to thought leadership in ADR.
