The role involves both legal and administrative tasks including:

• Reviewing and processing requests for arbitration and other documents filed by parties, arbitrators and others during arbitration proceedings
• Preparing agendas (memoranda) briefing the International Court of Arbitration on decisions it is required to take
• When Counsel is absent, replacing Counsel at sessions of the International Court of Arbitration
• Correspondence and telephone conversations with parties and arbitral tribunals concerning all aspects of case management
• Answering general queries about the ICC arbitral process by telephone and in writing
• Monitoring the financial aspects of the arbitrations handled by the team

Successful applicants may also prepare notes or articles for publication, and represent the Court and its Secretariat during seminars and conferences.

Applicants should be recently qualified lawyers with professional experience in a legal environment. A formal legal qualification (i.e. Bar exam or equivalent) is not, however, essential if a candidate can demonstrate sufficient legal training and experience in international arbitration, international law and/or commercial law. Applicants must be well organised, have excellent written and oral communication skills and be able to work effectively in a multicultural team.

Word perfect oral and written English is essential. Knowledge of any other languages, especially Eastern European language(s) or French, is an advantage.

Candidates should communicate information relative to their administrative situation (in particular valid working papers or in the process of being obtained).
