Join us for this fireside chat with Earl Rivera-Dolera, Filipino Arbitrator based in Singapore and the United States, on what it really takes to move from “promising practitioner” to someone institutions and parties feel confident appointing. This candid conversation goes beyond credentials and tackles the practical (and personal) work of becoming "appointable": building trust and judgment early, developing a reputation for clarity and reliability, navigating conflicts and ethics, finding mentors and sponsors, and showing up with the kind of presence that makes decision-makers remember you for the right reasons.

This fireside chat is ideal for aspiring and emerging arbitration practitioners, young lawyers exploring ADR, and professionals seeking to build a credible profile in international arbitration. If you want to understand what truly makes an arbitrator “appointable”—beyond credentials—and gain practical insights on reputation, ethics, mentorship, and presence, this conversation is for you.
