The 2024 London Summer Arbitration School will bring together leading practitioners, academics and representatives of arbitral institutions. The school will take place on 17-21 June 2024 at the Bush House, Aldwych. Online participation is also possible.
While many are familiar with commercial arbitration, fewer know about more specialised areas of international arbitration.
The interactive five-day programme will introduce participants not only to commercial arbitration but also to less well-known types of arbitration such as maritime, construction and commodities arbitration.
The participants will also engage in discussions of related career and business development opportunities with practitioners and representatives of institutions.
