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.
