Why Arbitrate in California
California – the fourth largest economy in the world – has it all. Manufacturing, finance, services, technology, life sciences, aerospace, entertainment, agriculture, shipping and many other industry sectors. California is the principal US gateway to the Pacific Rim and Asia. California has major trade ties to Mexico and the rest of Latin America to the south and to Canada to the north. California’s cities, including San Diego, Los Angeles, San Jose/Silicon Valley and San Francisco, offer rich diversity and endless international business opportunities.
California is a global focal point for industry and trade and it shines as an important beacon for international disputes resolution.
