Young ICCA Workshop on Oral Advocacy

Young ICCA is pleased to invite you to an engaging workshop on oral advocacy.

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.

For this workshop, with the permission of the VIS Moot, we have used a fact pattern related to the exclusion of evidence in arbitration, inspired by the problem of the 32nd VIS Moot.

Our oralists are two rising stars in international arbitration:

• Paul Kleist, Associate at Cleary Gottlieb (London), with a practice focused on international arbitration and litigation, and a wide variety of experience before both international arbitration tribunals and domestic courts;

• Krystal Lee, Senior Associate at Dentons (London), dual-qualified in England & Wales and in Paris, specializing in international commercial and investment arbitration.

   

The mock tribunal will consist of:

• Ruth Byrne, KC (King & Spalding, London) 
• David Herlihy, SC (A&O Shearman, Dublin) 
• Sophie Lamb, KC (Latham & Watkins, London) 

• The session will be moderated by Maxim Osadchiy (Osadchiy Dispute Resolution, London).

   

We extend our sincere thanks to Jadranka Jakovcic (Young ICCA Events Co-Director), Daria Kuznetsova (CMS UK), Maxim Osadchiy, Zil Shah (GE Renewable Energy), and Godwin Tan (A&O Shearman) of the Organizing Committee for their invaluable support in making this event possible.
