Swiss Arbitration is heading to Paris Arbitration Week (PAW) 2026 for our annual breakfast session! Hosted by our Swiss Arbitration Ambassadors for France, Anne-Carole Cremades and Baptiste Rigaudeau, this event promises freshly baked French pastries, rich coffee, and engaging discussions in an iconic and luxurious Parisian setting. Taking place from 10:30 – 12:30 at the iconic Hotel Alfred Sommier.

• French: Laura Fadlallah (Bredin Prat), Julien Fouret (HFW)

Moderators: Anne-Carole Cremades (Schellenberg Wittmer) & Baptiste Rigaudeau, MCIArb (Lead Up Law)
