Please join us for an in-person event in Tel Aviv, where leading arbitration and ADR practitioners and academics will share their journeys into the field, insights on building a successful career in arbitration and ADR, and perspectives on how Israel's legal community can better support and promote this growing area.

The programme will feature a brief lecture on this topic, followed by an open panel discussion and Q&A session with professionals from diverse backgrounds, each offering unique perspectives on international arbitration.
