Join us for this conversation-style event to learn about leveraging a diverse profile to explore the many roads available to break into international arbitration.
This event organised on the occasion of the 5th ICC Africa Conference on International Arbitration is intended for young African practitioners to discover the arbitration journey of leading African dispute resolution practitioners and hear about the bumps in the road as well as the successes they have encountered along the way. These personal conversations will also afford participants the opportunity to directly address the speakers with their questions and get advice as to what it takes to make it in international arbitration.
