"Wolters Kluwer is very pleased to extend our ongoing collaboration with VIAC to offer access to a wide range of arbitration content," said David Bartolone, Wolters Kluwer's VP and General Manager Kluwer Law International. "Our work with VIAC will provide Kluwer Arbitration customers with valuable guidance and insights from one of the world's leading international arbitration institutions."
