Join us during Washington Arbitraton Week for an invaluable lunchtime program to learn about starting your independent career path in arbitration.
Are you an international arbitration practitioner contemplating becoming an arbitrator? Are you transitioning from counsel in a big law firm into solo practice? Or are you a student eager to pursue your own unique, independent practice? If so, this panel is for you!
Panelists will share their experiences and provide practical guidance on "going solo" as counsel and/or an independent arbitrator. They will discuss the essential steps to make a transition into your own practice, including acquiring relevant experience, developing a client base, investing in vital skills (not all of them are traditional "legal" skills), networking effectively, and getting yourself noticed by clients and parties. Additionally, you will learn about panelists' motivations for pursuing a solo practice or an arbitrator career, the challenges they have encountered, and what they might have approached differently throughout their journeys.
