Dear Friends and Members,
We hope you had an enjoyable summer break. The great weather definitely provided a perfect backdrop for the two most recent YAAP events, the
Summer Drinks which took place on 26 June 2018 at the Summer Stage in Vienna and the DIS40, ASAbelow40, ArbIT and YAAP
Summer Retreat on 13/14 July 2018 in Berlin.
Like last year, the two events ranked very highly in terms of popularity among YAAP members thanks, first and foremost, to the great atmosphere. Drinks and leisure were the result of hard hard work though at least at the Summer Retreat where participants were very actively involved throughout the Friday workshops in making their voice heard, effectively cross-examining witnesses and applying the most recent presentation tech tools.
YAAP again is actively involved in planning autumn events for you! Next week,
on 6 September 2018, the VIAC/YAAP Master Class will take place offering the workshop “
The Great Legal Negotiator” held by Claudia Winkler. The seminar is also likely to be accepted by the Vienna Bar Association for mandatory education credits. Please register quickly as seats are limited - we look forward to seeing you there!
Yours,
Patrizia and Filip
