Commercial Law Development Program, an initiative of US Department of Commerce selected ten individuals of legal fraternity from Pakistan to train them in International Commercial Arbitration. Being one amongst them, received a 9-months training in International Commercial Arbitration. Pakistan doesn’t have competent expertise in the arbitration arena yet, therefore, looking forward to work in a global environment. There are promising prospects of arbitration in Pakistan as “CPEC is coming!” Commercial Law Development Program, an initiative of US Department of Commerce selected ten individuals of legal fraternity from Pakistan to train them in International Commercial Arbitration.
