Young ICCA Goes Vis Moot: Strategy, Risk, and Reality of Third-Party Funding in International Arbitration

Save the date

As part of Vis Moot week in Vienna, Young ICCA invites junior practitioners, arbitrators, and moot participants to join us for an in-person, practice-driven discussion on third-party funding and security for costs — one of the most strategically significant issues in contemporary arbitration.

Hosted at the offices of KNOETZL in central Vienna, the session will explore how third-party funding arrangements are evaluated and deployed in practice; how tribunals and arbitral institutions address disclosure and applications for security for costs in funded proceedings; and the tactical considerations parties and funders must navigate throughout the lifecycle of a case. The discussion will also offer insight into how applications for security for costs are argued and decided in funded arbitrations, while unpacking the strategic considerations counsel must weigh when working alongside funders.

The discussion will be followed by a networking reception with light refreshments.
