Becoming a VIAC Community Ambassador gives me the opportunity to foster arbitration and ADR in the CEE region and especially in Hungary under the umbrella of an institution with the profound knowledge required to support the smooth resolution of disputes in the region. As an avid advocate of ADR, I am honoured to promote the one-stop-shop model of dispute resolution developed by VIAC which makes it one of the best choices for resolving business disputes in the region."
