ICC will be holding a workshop on ICC arbitration proceedings that will highlight ICC practices, the differences in cultures, and legal procedures through a mock case in Paris.

The PIDA workshop is organized by the ICC Institute on World Business Law, will be held at ICC headquarters in Paris 28 September to 1 October. It will afford participants the chance to develop first-hand experience and knowledge of ICC Rules of Arbitration, an essential element in international business today.

“The PIDA training gives the participant not only a theoretical but also a practical grounding in international arbitration,” said Halil Ercüment Erdem, Chairman of the workshop and a partner with Erdem & Erdem in Turkey.

“While practising I have come across and worked with many previous PIDA participants. Receiving the right training in arbitration early on has meant that they have been able to develop and finely tune their skills as arbitrators and negotiators,” Mr Erdem added.

The seminar is designed for legal directors and corporate counsel from companies involved in international commercial arbitration,magistrates, practising lawyers, legal practitioners advising international trading companies, and business people involved in international trade and dispute resolution.

Participants will study the ICC arbitration proceedings through a mock case. Small working groups will be alternated with plenary sessions with technical and practical presentations by international experts, including key people involved in the drafting and implementation of the ICC Rules of Arbitration.  The training will be interactive with questions and answers sessions

The workshop will look at the main steps of an ICC arbitration case from the request to the award, as well as, the role of the Secretariat of the ICC International Court of Arbitration before and after the Terms of Reference, the selection and appointment of arbitrators as well as their powers, duties and role; and procedural approaches in civil law vs. common law.
