FIAA – Foundation for International Arbitration Advocacy is dedicated to providing advocacy training specifically designed for international arbitration.

Advocacy in the context of international arbitration presents unique challenges. These challenges begin with drafting the request for arbitration and continue through to enforcement of the final award.

Through a series of different learning-by-doing programs and workshops, FIAA offers skills training for international arbitration practitioners in witness examination, cross-examination, oral argument and written advocacy. FIAA also provides a forum for arbitrators, counsel and academics to analyze, develop and promote effective and ethical dispute resolution skills for international arbitration.

On this website, you will find information about FIAA, our programs as well as useful information about international arbitration.

FIAA International Arbitration Advocacy Workshop:
Questioning of Expert Witnesses in International Arbitration

We are excited to host FIAA’s next International Arbitration Advocacy Workshop on 10 - 12 November 2023 at the FTI Consulting offices in Dubai (DIFC).

Join highly-regarded faculty, senior arbitrators, and expert witnesses from around the world for this unique learning-by-doing program. This program is designed to provide international arbitration practitioners with the fundamentals of examining and cross-examining expert witnesses based on a mock arbitration case. Participants will have a unique opportunity to improve their advocacy skills by:
engaging in exercises and simulations based on a mock arbitration case, including a full day expert witness hearing; and
obtaining direct feedback and practical advice from leading international arbitration practitioners and advocacy instructors.
