The Centre for Commercial Law Studies (CCLS) is proud to announce the 2016 Alumni Conference organised by the Alumni and Friends of the School of International Arbitration (AFSIA). The first part of the afternoon will address the need for regulation of international arbitration, with particular attention for administrative secretaries and third party funding. The second part will explore the importance of specialist knowledge in region- and industry-specific arbitration at different stages of the proceedings. The conference is organised by and for Alumni and Friends of the School of International Arbitration (AFSIA). External delegates are equally welcome. The AFSIA Conference takes place on the afternoon before the School of International Arbitration’s Dispute Resolution LLM Ball. Both events offer a great opportunity to network and reconnect with fellow alumni of the school.
