What do we understand by confidentiality in arbitration? What are its limitations? Who is bound to observe it? How can we quantify its breach? In addressing these questions, the book engages such issues as the following:

• Reasons for disclosure – e.g., for the establishment of a defence, for the enforcement of rights, in the public interest or in the interests of justice
• Disclosure by consent, express or implied
• Circumstances triggering statutory obligation of disclosure
• Recent trends towards greater transparency in investor-State arbitration
• Court measures in support of arbitral confidentiality such as award of damages for breach of confidentiality
• Categories of persons bound by confidentiality, including third parties such as witnesses and experts

Structured along the main stages of the arbitral process, the analysis covers the duty of confidentiality from the initiation of arbitral proceedings through their unfolding to the issuance of the award and after. The scope of confidentiality is reviewed in the practice of arbitral tribunals and domestic courts, and from the perspective of international arbitration institutions, with detailed attention to various arbitration rules and numerous significant cases.

In its elucidation of the amount of confidentiality that ‘veils’ each phase of the arbitral process, and its ground-breaking identification of ‘patterns of disclosure’, this book is sure to raise awareness about the various facets and problems posed by confidentiality in arbitration. Although its scholarly contribution to the law of international commercial arbitration cannot be gainsaid, corporate counsel worldwide will quickly prize its more practical value.

Trusts have become extremely valuable tools when planning for the continuance of a person's estate, and are often used in business succession planning as well. For example, discretionary trusts are one of the most flexible tax planning tools available. However, there are many types of trusts, and each can be used to tailor specific planning needs.



Just as trusts are a valuable tool, there are also many tax and legal traps that one needs to be cognizant of when using them in client situations. For example, the very creation of the trust can be particularly troublesome if it is not set up with the correct attributes or if assets are not transferred to it correctly.

This 2 hour webinar will provide a practical and complete overview of the legal definitions and considerations of various trust types, as well as reviewing important tax considerations when planning with trusts. Examples of suggested tax planning structures and related tips will also be provided.



More specifically, topics covered will include:

• What elements are required for a properly created trust
• Tax issues to review when creating a trust and in particular the tax attribution rules
• Review of types of trusts used in estate and business planning - including insurance trusts, spendthrift trusts, asset protection trusts, private foundation trusts and trusts created for probate and estate tax minimization and income splitting
• Change of trustees - change of control from a tax perspective
• What are the tax and other limitations of amending a trust once created
• What ongoing obligations do trustees have to beneficiaries, including reporting and trust accounting
