ARBinBRIEF Season 3 Kick-off - Unique Unicorns: In-House Counsel as Arbitrators
JAMS is a proud supporting organization of ARBinBRIEF Season 3 Kick-off event titled "Unique Unicorns: In-House Counsel as Arbitrators." JAMS neutral, Laura C. Abrahamson, Esq., FCIArb will be joining this panel to discuss her perspective as former in-house counsel and now as an international arbitrator. The event will spotlight the rare presence of in-house women arbitrators within the arbitration community in a 45 minute recorded conversation, followed by a 15 minute Q&A. It will explore how in-house counsel are appointed as arbitrators, the skills and experience they bring to the table, and how they manage the dual roles of in-house counsel and arbitrator.
