Discover ASA below 40

Established in 2001, ASA’s young practitioners group aims at connecting arbitration practitioners below the age of 40 and promoting the exchange of views and experiences amongst them in a friendly and informal environment. The group holds two main seminars per year and regularly organises further events in collaboration with other organisations or institutions that support young arbitration practitioners.

It is free to be part of the below 40 community and is not dependent upon membership of ASA.
