Examining the Principles on Choice of Law in International Commercial Contracts from a practical perspective, Professor Daniel Girsberger spoke about the origins of the instrument and what the Principles are and what they are not. This session also featured an interview discussing the works of the Working Group, the innovative elements in the Principles, and how they can be useful in arbitration. Professor Girsberger outlined what could be the future in expanding the legal framework on the choice of law in international contracts.

The CODIFI conference brings together panelists and participants from a range of backgrounds, drawing on the expertise of specialists in public service and government, legal practice, finance, the technology sector, the diplomatic community and academia.
