“I have been a member of Ciarb for many years. I can't begin to summarise the incredible networking the organisation has availed, not to mention fantastic opportunities to tap into local and international presentations and events. I would highly recommend anyone in, or interested in, the field of Arbitration to join Ciarb.”
“I can’t recommend the Ciarb Essay Competition highly enough. I owe a great deal of my career to it: winning the competition led to part-time arbitration work with Albert Monichino KC in Melbourne, which led to an internship with WilmerHale in London, which in turn led to a graduate role with Clifford Chance in Perth, all of which ultimately led me to my role today with Mayer Brown in London, where I practice international arbitration on a full-time basis. A lot of this wouldn’t have been possible without the starting opportunity the competition gave me—it was my butterfly effect.
If you’re a student or a junior practitioner interested in setting out a career for yourself in this field, the Ciarb Essay Competition is the best way to do it. You won’t regret it.”
