Join us on the afternoon of Monday 4 November for a virtual student event with White & Case.
The theme is international arbitration. A panel of White & Case lawyers will share their insights into this key mechanism for settling major cross-border disputes.
International arbitration provides a mechanism to parties from different jurisdictions to have their dispute resolved by neutral third parties who they appoint, instead of going to court. This method is more flexible, and often more efficient than traditional litigation. One of the key advantages of international arbitration is the ease of enforcement of the arbitration award. Because of this, it is popular with the leading corporations, financial institutions and sovereign States that White & Case typically acts for.
Disputes lawyers from the firm will discuss a day in the life, and the complexity of working across jurisdictions and industries as international arbitration specialists. They’ll also reflect on their career journeys to date and offer advice to students hoping to follow a similar path.
The speakers
• Laetitia Souesme, partner in the litigation/arbitration team
• Poorvi Satija, associate in the international arbitration team
• Jacob Bennett, trainee solicitor
After short talks and a panel discussion, there will be virtual networking with the speakers, trainees and members of White & Case’s early careers team.
