Join us in Maputo for this new session of the “Passing  the baton” ICC YAAF Champions Centenary Series. International arbitration experts in lusophone jurisdictions will offer some key take aways for young arbitration practitioners.

This event is a perfect opportunity to focus on the lusophone jurisdictions in international commercial arbitration. The primary objective is to encourage the interest in international commercial arbitration by young Portuguese-speaking jurists. Speakers will share their extensive experience on dispute resolution matters related to their respective jurisdictions, including training, networking, and business opportunities.

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.
