19 Apr 2023

Beirut and Online English
Start: 11.30 (EEST) | 10.30 (CEST) || End: 14:00 (EEST) | 13:00 (CEST)

Join us for a stimulating discussion on 19 April 2023 at Eptalex’s offices in Beirut or online. While considered as a widespread practice, the repeat appointment of arbitrators generates many challenges in the field of arbitration. Issues related to the independence and impartiality of the arbitrator, the scope of the arbitrator’s duty of disclosure and the risk of annulment of the award will be discussed from both the counsel and institutional perspective.

Who should attend?

  • Young arbitration and ADR practitioners,
  • Young lawyers
  • Students.

Open to those aged 40 and under, YAAF provides opportunities for individuals to gain knowledge, develop their skills and understand ICC’s arbitral procedure and other dispute resolution services.

What is ICC YAAF?

At ICC, we believe that through training and mentorship, we can mould the next generation of leading international arbitration and ADR experts. Through the ICC Young Arbitration and ADR Forum (YAAF) network, we are able to better inform, connect and inspire young professionals with interests in dispute resolution and dispute avoidance.
