Young ICCA Workshop on Oral Advocacy

Young ICCA is pleased to invite you to a Breakfast Skills Training Workshop on Oral Advocacy.

Registration and breakfast will begin at 9:00, and the event will start promptly at 9:30, running until 11:30.

The event will feature a mock submission on the admissibility of evidence in an arbitration proceeding, followed by structured feedback from a tribunal and an open discussion on effective oral advocacy techniques. Designed to provide practical insight and guidance, the workshop is aimed at young practitioners and students looking to sharpen their advocacy skills.

Our oralists are two rising stars in international arbitration:

• Fiona Petersen, Associate, Twenty Essex (London)

• Michael Decker, Associate, Schjødt (Copenhagen)

   

The mock tribunal will consist of:

• Melanie van Leeuwen, Partner, Vanguard International Dispute Resolution (Paris)
• Claus Juel Hansen, Partner, Kromann Reumert (Copenhagen)

• Katherine Bell, Partner, Schellenberg Wittmer (Zurich)

   

The session will be moderated by:

• Sahra Arif, Legal Counsel, Danish Institute of Arbitration (Copenhagen)

   

We extend our sincere thanks to Katrine Tvede (Ashurst / Young ICCA Co-Chair), Morten Adler-Nissen (Kromann Reumert), Danna Zhang (Slaughter and May), and Jadranka Jakovcic (Young ICCA Co-Director of Events) of the Organizing Committee for their invaluable support in making this event possible.
