Only a few places are left. The workshop follows on the heels of highly successful Arbitration Day training focused on hearings and deliberations, held earlier this year.

In the course, experienced counsel with civil and common-law backgrounds will lay out the principles behind the cross-examination. To educate participants on best and worst practices, a panel of experienced arbitrators will detail the approach that in his or her view is most effective.

“There is an ongoing need for hands-on training within the arbitration community,” said Laetitia de Montalivet, Director of the ICC Institute of World Business Law. “Participants will benefit from a session on theory in the morning. A practical discussion in the afternoon should make for a lively debate on how cross-examination works in the real world.”

The training is geared towards counsel, practicing lawyers, arbitrators, legal directors and corporate counsel. Magistrates, legal practitioners advising international trading companies, and experts in business involved in international trade and dispute resolution will also benefit from the training.

Arbitration Day workshops count towards vocational training credits in some countries, including France, the UK and the United States (in New York and California).
