REGISTER NOW: On 18 February 2021, from 12am to 1:30pm we will host our first online lunch event organized with our Swedish colleagues at YAS. The topic is “Mind the Gap: a fresh look at procedural gaps in institutional rules”. We are delighted to have an esteemed panel of two Swedish (Henrik Fieber, Judge, Stockholm district court and independent arbitrator and Anina Liebkind, Partner, Norburg & Scherp, Stockholm) and two Austrian experts (Thomas Herbst, Senior Associate, Zeiler Floyd Zadkovich, Vienna and Elisabeth Rath, Associate, KNOETZL, Vienna). The session will be moderated by a distinguished English moderator, Duncan Speller, Partner, WilmerHale, London. The panellists will compare different institutional rules and practices as well as identifying the gaps in such rules. They will also discuss methods invoked by arbitrators to overcome these gaps. We look forward to an interesting panel discussion and there will be a possibility to “network” online afterwards. Please sign up now by sending an email to dajana.bjelovuk@freshfields.com.
SAVE THE DATE: In the run up to the 28th Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot ICC YAF and YAAP will host an online event on Saturday, 27 March 2021. The topic is “Young Approaches to Arbitration”. Details to follow.
Call for videos for our Meet Your YAAP-colleagues series: Please send us a short (2-3 minutes) selfie video, explaining who you are and what you do, what brought you to arbitration and what you like/dislike about it. Please feel free to add anything important to you, as long as you stay within your 2-3 minutes. Looking forward to receiving some exciting videos.
