California Arbitration (CalArb)

Finally, as the Co-Chair and organizer of the 2025 California International Arbitration Week (CIAW), I am finally sharing my own post about this hugely successful event. Thankfully a huge number of people have already posted about CIAW. But I have been so busy since CIAW, I am probably close to the last to share pictures from CIAW. We had close to 300 attendees, 24 excellent panels, about 120 speakers, speakers and attendees from around the world, and five nights of stellar networking events. We also had a lot of fun. Below are some photos from CIAW and the panel I spoke on. Thank you to everyone who helped make the 2025 CIAW a huge success. I am very proud that CIAW is now one of the signature international events in the world and the premier California event. We can only do this is by having a truly global community that is part of CIAW and joins us in celebrating international arbitration in California. This was the fourth annual CIAW. We grow each year. Looking forward to seeing you at the 2026 CIAW, March 9-12, in San Francisco. #CIAW #calarb #internationalarbitration #CLA #arbitration

? Two weeks ago, we had the pleasure of hosting a Cocktail Soiree together with Jus Mundi, on the occasion of the 2025 #CaliforniaInternationalArbitrationWeek. The evening was filled with great conversations and networking in a beautiful venue with stunning views of Los Angeles and the Hollywood Hills. With around 200 attendees, the event was a resounding success. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year!
