Maxwell Conversations features leading personalities at the top of the international dispute resolution industry. These events seek to challenge assumptions with a deeper examination of the issues.

In this session, Lawrence Teh, Global Co-Head of International Arbitration of Dentons will speak with prominent arbitrator Professor Kaufmann-Kohler. They will speak on the topic “Party Representation and Equal Treatment”.

The conversation will be joined later by two other arbitration practitioners.

Investment Arbitration, involving the resolution of disputes between host States and foreign investors, is a
developing area which is gaining increasing relevance to practitioners, against a changing global landscape. Designed as a primer, this two-day course will provide an introduction and overview of the investment arbitration legal framework, key substantive principles and concepts for interested arbitration practitioners, in-house counsel and government lawyers.

In its third edition, the SIAC Academy will provide practical, “hands-on” training on the written advocacy skills, knowledge and techniques that a budding arbitration counsel needs for the pre-evidentiary hearing stages of the arbitration. As there are many approaches to case strategy and written advocacy, this course seeks to offer participants an insight into the strategic thinking and advocacy styles of leading arbitration practitioners, using the basic framework of a typical arbitration, for the participants to develop or refine their own style.

Participants of this intensive two-day course will be provided with the fact scenario of a hypothetical case and will be guided through the stages of a typical arbitration proceeding, as they craft a case theory, draft the Notice of Arbitration, Response to the Notice of Arbitration, select and interview their arbitrators, prepare for their first Preliminary Meeting and Mock Application for Consolidation, prepare a request to produce documents, responses to their opposing counsel’s request to produce, as well as draft the outline of a witness statement.

Due to the interactive, “hands-on” nature of this course, spaces are limited, and participants are required to bring along their laptops to complete the in-class exercises.
