ICC YAAF & YAAP: Young Approaches to Arbitration
Sky Lounge, University of Vienna, Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1, 1010 Vienna, AustriaStep into one of arbitration’s most debated dynamics: the role of third-party funders. Join us for an engaging discussion where leading practitioners explore how funding arrangements influence strategy, disclosure obligations, and equality of arms. The panel will address key questions of confidentiality, transparency, and potential conflicts of interest, and examine how tribunals and counsel can safeguard procedural integrity when a “not so invisible” stakeholder becomes involved in the proceedings.
Get ready for an exciting ICC YAAF & YAAP joint conference, set against the backdrop of the prestigious 33rd Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot!
Join us for a thought-provoking keynote introducing a dynamic discussion on third-party funding in international arbitration. Our panel of experienced practitioners will examine disclosure obligations, confidentiality, transparency, potential conflicts of interest, and the influence of funding on equality of arms, while offering practical reflections on how tribunals and counsel may conduct proceedings once additional economic stakeholders are present.
Drawing on practical experience and comparative perspectives, the session aims to foster a nuanced understanding of how funded proceedings can be managed while safeguarding procedural integrity. If you are looking to sharpen your approach to funded disputes and confidently address the opportunities and challenges they bring, this is a discussion you won’t want to miss.
As always, this ICC YAAF & YAAP event will provide the perfect platform for Vis Moot students and young practitioners to exchange knowledge, share their experiences, and expand their networks.
