ASA Arbitration Retreat 2025 jointly organised with DIS

In a series of sessions that take place over the course of two days and that follow the key phases of an arbitration proceeding, two discussion leaders – one with a civil and one with a common law background – raise and engage with participants on key legal and practical issues that might arise in the life of an arbitration. The discussion leaders are highly experienced practitioners, who draw on examples from actual past cases to illustrate these issues and different ways in which they might be addressed. What results is a lively debate among discussion leaders and participants that is designed to highlight the diversity of experiences and approaches in international arbitration, foster the exchange on and development of novel ideas and practices, and encourage cross-cultural sensitivity.
You can find more information on the event in the flyer. The language of the seminar is English.
