Fourth Global Conference of the Co-Chairs’ Circle, Legitimacy in and of Arbitration

I. Foreword Co-Chairs' Circle ("CCC") is an informal platform to foster exchanges between young arbitration practitioner groups. In recent years, more and more groups have been founded throughout the world by young lawyers practicing in international arbitration, seeking to connect, learn and effectively shape the future of international arbitration. Most of these groups operate under the auspices of an arbitral institution, an arbitration association, or an institute. Given the continued proliferation of young arbitration practitioner groups, it was time to create an informal platform for Co-Chairs across the organizations to meet and exchange ideas about topics they consider relevant, to jointly reflect on current trends and to team up in order to have a stronger impact as the young voice of the international community. Currently, around 30 young arbitration practitioners' groups participate in the Co-Chairs' Circle:

For more details about the Co-Chairs' Circle, visit www.co-chairs-circle.com In the same spirit, the Global Co-Chairs' Circle Conference has been created. This bi-annual conference is organised and hosted by one of the member organisations of the CCC, with the support of the other organisations. It is open to all lawyers, academics and in-house counsels practicing or having an interest in International Arbitration.

ABOUT CEPANI40 CEPANI40 is the under 40 group of the Belgian Center for Arbitration and Mediation (CEPANI).

It was founded in 2004, under the auspices of CEPANI. The organisation is specifically aimed at young professionals with an interest in arbitration. With CEPANI40, we wish to offer a forum for young practitioners interested in arbitration, where they can exchange views, ideas and experiences about arbitration in a friendly and informal manner.

To this end, CEPANI40 organises regular meetings, conferences and networking events where practice-oriented issues are addressed by arbitration experts. This way, we work to create opportunities for young professionals to debate all aspects of the practice of arbitration and to enable them to further engage in their area of interest.
