Objective

This event will take place as part of the DRC Mining Week in Lubumbashi, offering a unique platform at the intersection of the mining and legal sectors. It will be hosted as a networking breakfast, bringing together young arbitration practitioners and professionals from both the legal and mining sectors in a friendly, dynamic, and interactive setting.

Participants will have a valuable opportunity to engage directly with experts in arbitration and mining, as well as with the ICC YAAF representative for the DRC. The session will include a presentation of the ICC YAAF’s mission, its global network, and the opportunities it provides to emerging practitioners, particularly in Francophone Africa.

This event is part of a wider initiative to expand the ICC YAAF’s presence in the DRC and to cultivate a vibrant community of emerging arbitration practitioners.

Who should attend?

Young lawyers, in-house counsel, law interns, graduate law students, and anyone interested in a career in international arbitration or alternative dispute resolution in Central Africa.
