About the ASA Arbitration Practice Seminar A unique interactive and comparative format The ASA Arbitration Practice Seminar (formerly known as the Practice Building Seminar ) follows a format developed in 1997 by ASA, and very successfully applied every year since, in cooperation with other arbitration associations and institutions around Europe, including every two years with DIS in Badenweiler, Germany. The discussion leaders are all very experienced international arbitration practitioners. During the course of two days, they will raise and discuss with the participants key legal and practical questions, as they arise in the successive stages of an international arbitration, illustrating them with examples from real cases. All the sessions are led jointly by two practitioners, one with a common law background and the other with a civil law background, thus bringing to bear, in a lively debate, the diversity of experiences in international arbitration and encouraging the development of cross-cultural sensitivity. The language of the Arbitration Practice Seminar is English. Discussion Leaders Who should attend? Prof. Piero BERNARDINI, Ughi e Nunziante, Rome Phillip CAPPER, White & Case, London Prof. Zachary DOUGLAS, Matrix Chambers, London & the Graduate Institute, Geneva Teresa GIOVANNINI, LALIVE, Geneva Doug JONES, Clayton Utz, Sydney & Atkin Chambers, London Prof. Luca RADICATI DI BROZOLO, Radicati di Brozolo & Sabatini Studio Legale, Milan Dr. Anke SESSLER, Chief Counsel Litigation, Siemens AG, Munich Todd WETMORE, Shearman & Sterling, Paris This is not a seminar for true beginners. It is designed for those who wish to continue building on their international arbitration knowledge and practice and to benefit from the discussion leaders combined experience and expertise, acquired in a great variety of arbitration proceedings in different jurisdictions. Participants themselves contribute to the debate with their own experience, questions and ideas.
