“A Virtual Debate on Virtual Hearings” CIArb YMG Event Features Rainbow Williams and Lidia Rezende

June 2020 — On June 24th at 10am ET, CIArb’s Young Members Group is hosting “A Virtual Debate on Virtual Hearings.” Chaffetz Lindsey is pleased to co-sponsored this event, which will feature two of our attorneys, Rainbow Willard and Lidia Rezende, as panelists.

This event will bring together young practitioners from Geneva, London, New York and Dubai for a lively and engaging debate regarding the future of virtual arbitration hearings.  Practitioners will draw on their experience from some of the first virtual hearings held post-Covid to debate whether these virtual hearings should continue to be widely used after public health concerns dissipate.  Viewers will have the opportunity to vote at the close of the debate, as well as to pose questions and make comments during a Q&A session to follow.
