The Steering Committee welcomes up to 44 leading arbitration counsel from key centers across Asia. Those invited are highly experienced, confident practitioners with at least 10 years of relevant experience who are at the cutting edge of their practice and are well known in the industry.
Candid, seminar-style discussions, allow peers the openness to examine new ways of thinking about aspects of their practice ranging from legal topics, practice management, and innovation for meaningful dialogue on the most interesting and provocative issues of the day.

"The Asian Forum for Arbitration Counsel was an excellent experience. A small group of highly experienced and qualified counsel from diverse jurisdictions exchanging free-flowing ideas and experiences was a treat. Personally, I have started recently being appointed to act as an arbitrator for several disputes and I feel like the experiences shared in the room will be put in practice by me right away. In my practice as arbitration counsel there are a lot of helpful and practical ideas that are valuable and new. This is different from other conferences because of the small size of the group and free flow of discussion."
