Thomas John (ACIArb)
Hague Conference on Private International Law, Permanent Bureau

Thomas John works as Principal Legal Officer at the Permanent Bureau of the Hague Confe-rence of Private Internation Law. He will di-scuss identification of typical risks in cross-border transactions with a particular focus on certain transactional, litigation and enforce-ment risks typically encountered by parties. While domestic settings are used for compa-rison purposes, Thomas will concentrate on the international aspects of those risks, intro-ducing risk management and mitigation strategies, including as available under the 2005 Hague Choice of Court Convention which has entered into force for Austria (1-X-2015) and all other Member States, including the Uni-ted Kingdom, of the European Union as well as non EU trading partners such as Singapur, Mexiko and Montenegro. China has signed the Convention in December 2017.
