Dear Friends and Members,

This year’s summer had an early start with a successful and well-attended YAAP Roundtable in Budapest. The event took place on 3 May 2018 gathering Hungarian and Austrian young arbitration practitioners in a boat restaurant floating upon the Danube (see details below). We thank our Hungarian colleagues for their support in organizing such a marvelous event and for their hospitality!

This month, on 26 June 2018, YAAP encourages you to join the second VIAC/YAAP Master Class on “Oral Pleading in Practice”. Florian Haugeneder and Helmut Ortner will hold a seminar focusing on effective oral advocacy for opening statements and oral pleadings in the hearing room.
Following the Master Class, YAAP invites you to our annual Summer Drinks jointly organized with ArbAut at the summerstage. For those who can’t resist: World Cup viewing of the third round group stage (Island v. Croatia and Nigeria v. Argentina) is secured.
The arbitration summer will reach its peak at our Summer Retreat co-organized with DIS 40, ASA below 40 and arb|it in Berlin on 13/14 July 2018 with the opportunity to improve your Art of Persuasion at one of several exciting workshop sessions. And we promise: the fun part will not step short!

Yours,
Patrizia and Filip

5) Looking back: YAAP Roundtable in Budapest

Our first-ever Budapest Roundtable on 3 May brought together some 40 young arbitration practitioners from Austria and Hungary. The mood and the weather could not have been any better: In a boat restaurant floating upon the Danube, we engaged in lively and high-level discussions on arbitration in Austria and Hungary. The discussion was triggered by presentations from Lisa Beisteiner (on the arbitration landscape and law in Austria), Elisabeth Vanas-Metzler, Deputy Secretary General of VIAC (on the VIAC in general and the new Vienna Rules in particular), Miklós Boronkay (on the arbitration landscape in Hungary) and Csaba Pigler (on the Hungarian arbitration law). The audience was busy asking questions and we continued the discussion until late over drinks. We will definitely follow-up on this great event to deepen the cooperation with our Hungarian friends.
