Forum Shopping and International Commercial Law

Edited by Franco Ferrari, Clarence D. Ashley Professor of Law and Director, Intesa Sanpaolo Center for Transnational Litigation, Arbitration, and Commercial Law, New York University School of Law, New York and Aaron D. Simowitz, Assistant Professor and Co-Director of The Business Lawyering Institute, Willamette University, US

‘These amazing three volumes - containing everything you always wanted to know about forum shopping but were afraid to ask - are a masterwork on one of the most controversial and ubiquitous issues of International Law. The selection and classification of the articles included in this Research Collection could hardly be better and go certainly beyond the scope suggested by the title. Indeed, readers will find much more than International Commercial Law therein.’
