James Hosking to Speak at Roma Tre and UNIDROIT Events

November 2025 — Chaffetz Lindsey’s James Hosking will play a prominent role in two gatherings of international lawyers in Rome this month.

Roma Tre–UNIDROIT Centre Annual Conference

On November 13, James will speak at the Annual Conference organized by the Roma Tre–UNIDROIT Centre for Transnational Commercial Law and International Arbitration. The conference, titled “The Governance of Risk in a Risk Society – Perspectives from Private, Public and International Law,” will take place at the Banca d’Italia Carlo Azeglio Ciampi Conference Center, and will bring together policy makers, academics and practitioners to discuss how emerging regulatory and geopolitical risks impact transnational law and cross-border dispute resolution.

James will speak on the panel “Risk, Causation, And Damages In International Disputes” with Ulrich Schroeter (Professor of Private Law at University of Basel) and Alexis Mourre (MCL Arbitration and Professor of Law at Sciences Po Law School). Giacomo Rojas Elgueta (Co-Director of the Centre, Professor of Private Law at Roma Tre University School of Law) will moderate the discussion.

Roma Tre Certificate in International Commercial and Investment Arbitration

Later in the same week in Rome, James will also present at the market-leading Roma Tre Certificate in International Commercial and Investment Arbitration. Now in its 12th year, James and fellow partner Yasmine Lahlou have taught at the Certificate since its inception. James will deliver the lecture titled “The gathering of evidence in international arbitration: expert reports, fact witnesses, disclosure of evidence”.

The Certificate will also be attended by Mariam Jikia recipient of the CL-Young ICCA scholarship. The scholarship covers the full registration fee for the Certificate and contributes to travel expenses, encouraging participation of applicants from countries underrepresented in this unique and intensive international arbitration training program.
