Arbitration advocacy – the good, the bad, and the ugly (over fine wine & cheese)

The arbitrator perspective on the good, the bad and the ugly of arbitration advocacy.

What persuades an arbitrator, and what doesn’t? This informal fireside chat over wine and cheese offers a candid look at arbitration advocacy from the decision-maker’s perspective. Drawing on practical experience, our arbitrators will explore what makes written and oral advocacy effective, common missteps by counsel, and how advocates can better assist tribunals in complex disputes. Our international panel of arbitrators will bring their insights from commercial, construction, commodity, and investment treaty arbitrations.
