We are pleased to inform that Makes & Partners and WongPartnership LLP (as partners in the WPG regional law network), in collaboration with the International Law Moot Society of the Faculty of Law of the Universitas Indonesia (“ILMS FHUI”), will host the International Commercial Arbitration Workshop, at the Moot Academy on October 8, 2019. The Moot Court Academy is an annual event held by ILMS FHUI to attract future members: namely, law students with keen interest and passion in both spheres of Public and Private International Law.
ILMS FHUI is a student organization which, amongst others, provides opportunities for law students at the Universitas Indonesia to participate in prestigious international moot court competitions, including the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot, Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot, International Humanitarian Law Moot, International Maritime Law Arbitration Moot, International Investment Moot and ICC International Commercial Mediation Moot.
The workshop will be presented by Lawrence Foo (Partner, WongPartnership LLP) and Nancy Silalahi (Senior Associate, Makes & Partners). The aim of this workshop is twofold: firstly, to provide participants with an introduction to the practice of international commercial arbitration and its importance internationally and in Indonesia, and, secondly, to provide participants with practical guidance for the basic skill set that an arbitration practitioner needs to possess. Through this workshop, we look to cultivate the interest of future young lawyers in the growing practice of arbitration in Indonesia. We are very excited to be able to contribute to the next generation of legal practitioners by bringing our identity that is proactive, innovative and to practice with utmost passion and integrity.
