Past participants describe the professional benefits
Vivienne Yeda Apopo, Director-General, East African Development Bank
“King’s Executive course on International Commercial Arbitration law is a comprehensive training delivered by an excellent faculty of academic and practising lawyers. The reading material is substantive and the sessions delivered each week are engaging; the contributions from subject experts and distinguished practising international arbitrators from key arbitration centers provide valuable practical insights and opportunities for networking. The course schedule, curriculum and sessions are carefully planned and delivered professionally. I enjoyed the course and I gained many invaluable insights and practical tips that I am applying in my current position. I recommend the course to arbitrators, arbitration lawyers, and those aspiring to develop a career in arbitration.”
Jean-Matthieu Jonet, Avocat au Barreau de Bruxelles – Fidal
“The Executive Course on International Arbitration is a truly effective learning experience for anyone interested in international arbitration. The online format makes it easy to follow the sessions without disturbing your professional obligations. The program includes the intervention of many outstanding teachers from the arbitration practice, which makes the teaching concrete and particularly interesting.”
Nalina Santhiran, Associate at Christopher & Lee Ong (part of Rajah & Tann Asia)
"The Executive Course on International Commercial Arbitration provides something for students from all backgrounds - i.e., it serves as a good primer for beginners covering the pertinent legal aspects of arbitrations and yet also provides a lot of value for more seasoned practitioners. I find this to be the case as the class size is relatively small providing ample time for a more interactive session where participants get to have their questions addressed on the spot. Dr Manuel is an expert in his field and the practical aspects of arbitration are also well covered by seasoned arbitration practitioners. The opportunity to make meaningful connections through the course is also unparalleled - for instance in my case following the course, my course mate and I co-founded the Malaysia Very Young Arbitration Practitioner's Network (MY VYAP), which will hopefully see more opportunities arise for young arbitration practitioners in my home country."
Dr. Anthony C.K. Kakooza, Partner at Byenkya, Kihika & Co. Advocates (Uganda)
“The course on International Commercial Arbitration was an eye-opener in many respects. As someone who encounters different challenges in my arbitration practice, getting to receive first-hand information from both top academics and practitioners in the field of international arbitration provided a pathway to smoother avenues through which I could confidently tackle such challenges. The course also offered better insight into more intricate aspects of arbitration that I had never been exposed to in any of my earlier ADR trainings, thus leaving me in a more satisfactory and fulfilled position than I was prior to undertaking the course.”
Anusha Jacob, Senior Associate (Dispute Resolution) at AZB & Partners (India)
"While I’ve worked on several arbitration disputes, I’d never really taken up any course that specialised in arbitration, particularly International Commercial Arbitration. This course was perfect in every way - the curriculum, the course professor and the sessions themselves. Every bit is well-planned, structured and extremely useful for any lawyer who wants to either learn about International Commercial Arbitration (right from the basics of drafting an agreement till enforcement of an award) or practice it. For a working professional like me, the sessions were extremely convenient and I could effortlessly juggle between my work schedule and the course sessions. The cherry on the cake would have to be the guest speakers, as we had the opportunity to interact with each of them and learn from their professional experiences, something that I found to be very valuable and enriching. Highly recommend this course to students, lawyers and anyone who wants to be an arbitrator."
Clement E A Kihoko, Partner Rollette & Co (Tanzania)
"This course has offered me a comprehensive understanding of international commercial arbitration and guidance on the procedural rules applicable to leading international arbitral tribunals. I have gained more confidence in providing legal assistance to my international clients and increased a network of professional colleagues in arbitration practices globally."
Jorge Escalona MCIArb, Secretariat of Economy (Mexico)
“From a practical and theoretical standpoint, this course is well-rounded for those seeking to expeditiously but thoroughly sophisticate their international arbitration knowledge. The core topics of the subject are well explained and discussed by the module leader and top-tier experts invited each week, where participants can genuinely interact and have a solid networking opportunity. For my professional career, this course has helped me strengthen my knowledge of international commercial arbitration and awoke a genuine passion for pursuing a career in such an extraordinary field of law open to everyone with love for dispute resolution and where immense working and academic opportunities exist.”
Mariana Tupper, Senior Associate (Arbitration & Litigation) at Enrique Barros & Cía (Chile)
“I took the course by the time I decided to make a shift in my career as a corporate lawyer to pursue a path in arbitration. It perfectly fitted my expectations and needs as a recently appointed local arbitrator with no prior experience in international commercial arbitration. Not only the topics covered and readings were carefully selected and extremely useful but also the faculty was outstanding, with teachers ranging from professors to highly experienced practitioners and renowned arbitrators. A dedicated and student oriented organization was - undoubtedly- an additional key for the success of the course.”
Tom Leach, Senior Associate, ONTIER LLP (UK)
“I completed the Professional Certificate on International Arbitration at King’s College London and found it to be a brilliant course. The tutor was excellent and there were a number of guest speakers, holding diverse roles, who provided an invaluable insight into the practice of this area of law. The course covered a broad range of topics and provided a solid grounding in international arbitration, allowing me to develop my expertise and subsequently further my career in this area. I would highly recommend this course.”
