The 2007 World Chambers Competition has attracted a record number of entries with many chambers vying for a chance to take home a prestigious award.

ICC last week hosted a special session rallying businesses large and small to engage in the fight against corruption. The development of new compliance tools for business and the need for stronger involvement by governmental and intergovernmental authorities to address extortion issues were the focus of discussions.

The International Chamber of Commerce today has published ICC Legal Handbook on Global Sourcing Contracts, the first comprehensive handbook to help small- and medium-sized companies navigate this process internationally.
