April Events
The London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) will be hosting a symposium in Miami on Saturday 5 April, the day before the ICCA Congress.
LCIA symposia are designed to be interactive and to provide an opportunity for delegates to share news and views on recent developments in the field of international commercial arbitration and ADR under the expert guidance of well-known co-Chairs. There are no set talks; instead, in advance of the event delegates submit topics for discussion they wish to raise and these are debated from the floor during the working sessions. The LCIA regularly host events back-to-back with other institutions and the combination of a traditional style conference and a symposium is always well received by delegates.
The LCIA would like to offer a special reduced registration fee of £250 to all members of the Florida State Bar. For further details about the event and to register please click here for the programme and registration form. Details of the event can also be viewed on the LCIA website: LCIA symposium on International Arbitration - 5 April 2014, The Viceroy Hotel Miami; to register at the reduced rate please complete the registration form, selecting the "Delegate registration fee for In-House/General Counsel" and making a note "Florida Bar", and email to conferences@lcia.org .
Please do not hesitate to contact the LCIA ( conferences@lcia.org) if you have any questions or would like any further information.
