ICC YAAF: Taking Your Seat at the Table: The Courage to be "Appointable”

The ICC YAAF event titled 'Taking Your Seat at the Table: The Courage to be Appointable' is designed for aspiring and emerging arbitration practitioners, as well as young lawyers exploring alternative dispute resolution (ADR). This fireside chat features Earl Rivera-Dolera, a Filipino Arbitrator based in Singapore and the United States, who will share insights on the journey from being a promising practitioner to becoming someone that institutions and parties feel confident in appointing. The discussion will delve into the practical and personal work involved in building trust and judgment early in one's career, developing a reputation for clarity and reliability, and navigating the complexities of conflicts and ethics. Attendees will learn about the importance of mentorship and sponsorship, and how to present oneself in a way that leaves a lasting impression on decision-makers. This event is free of charge, but with limited seating available, it promises an intimate setting for meaningful dialogue and networking. Participants will also have the opportunity to engage in a Q&A session and enjoy networking drinks afterward. The ICC Young Arbitration and ADR Forum (YAAF) aims to shape the next generation of leaders in international arbitration and ADR through training and mentorship, making this event a valuable opportunity for young professionals in the field.
