#CIArbLondon

This seminar is the Annual Joint Meeting between CIArb's London Branch and the London Court of International Arbitration.

Third Party funding of arbitration cases can be viewed as an extension of third party litigation funding. But what are the implications in an arbitration, domestic and international? From their different perspectives as funders, counsel and users, our expert panel will consider this topic.

Chaired by Paul Rose FCIArb C.Arb, Chair of CIArb's London Branch, the seminar will start at 6.30pm and end at 8.00pm followed by a drinks reception which ends at approximately 9.00pm.

CPD point(s): 1.5

Cost(s): Attendance to this event is free of charge, but pre-registration is a must.

For more information and to register, please contact the Branch Administrator Elinor Pritchard by emailing elinor@thevirtualpartnership.co.uk
