Charles Russell Speechlys and Wilberforce Chambers are delighted to be hosting a panel discussion and networking during London Arbitration Week.
What does effective advocacy look like in the high-stakes world of international arbitration today? This session draws inspiration from The Mandela Brief and the legacy of Sir Sydney Kentridge KC and explores how advocacy shapes outcomes in complex, sensitive disputes.
Join Thomas Grant KC from Wilberforce Chambers and leading arbitration practitioners Jue Jun Lu and Gareth Mills from Charles Russell Speechlys, for a dynamic conversation about modern-day challenges in international arbitration - geopolitics, trade tariffs, state-investor frictions, ESG and ethical dilemmas, and cultural misgivings from the West to the East - and how to deliver successful, impactful advocacy in such a rapidly evolving global landscape.

- Hear from Thomas Grant KC on the enduring relevance of legal principles, the rule of law and justice in global legal practice.

This event is taking place both in-person and online.
