Webinar on "Arbitration as a career"

The secret to  success is focusing your energy, not in fighting the old, but building the new! 

Today, we are in the era of transitional change and  revolution in the legal field.

Chief Justice Bhosale of Telangana & AP High Court in a recent dialogue quoted that the "Indian judiciary is going to crumble under its own weight".

This is owed to the inefficiency of the process and the large population, which makes the  future of judicial dispute resolution hazy!

A survey of 1000 largest corporates of the US showed that 79% of them used  ADR for dispute resolution which shows the new global shift in the legal arena. 

Now, being a new field, it is loaded with question marks at every step. For efficiently building and growing with the 'new' what we need as young lawyers is  guidance. 

And so, LAWyersClubIndia in collaboration with Gaurav Goyal, MCIArb has requested Mr. RATAN K SINGH FCIArb for a webinar on  Career in  Arbitration'. 

Mr. Singh is a pioneer in the field of arbitration practice and has decades of experience, having argued many cases, chaired numerous matters as an  arbitrator and lectured students and  lawyers all over the world. 

Excited?
Join us for this magnificent hour at 4 on the 22nd.

Tag the aspiring Arbitrators and Practitioners in your network!
