¡Las inscripciones ya están abiertas! #YoungICCA te invita al conversatorio Los Árbitros: el deber de revelación y estándares de imparcialidad e independencia. En esta conferencia se discutirá sobre el deber de independencia e imparcialidad del árbitro en el marco del arbitraje internacional. Discutiremos diversas consideraciones y estándares reconocidos y aplicados en directrices y reglamentos internacionales, como por ejemplo las Directrices IBA sobre Conflictos de Intereses. Asimismo, repasaremos cuestiones que cada vez se presentan con mayor frecuencia en la discusión sobre nombramientos de árbitros como issue conflict o el impacto de la confidencialidad del arbitraje al momento de tomar y analizar estas decisiones.   El presente conversatorio busca un enfoque práctico y cercano para analizar lo anterior sobre la base de experiencia casuística en la materia, experiencias personales de nuestros ponentes desde su sitio como litigantes, parte o árbitro y las recomendaciones que estos nos puedan dar para los asistentes. El panel estará moderado por nuestra Co-Directora de eventos Mayra Bryce Alberti, y estará integrado por Carolina de Trazegnies, Micaela Ortiz Rivarola y Santiago Gatica 盛地哥.   🔹 Fecha: 18 de marzo de 2025, de 15:30h a 18:30h 🔹 Lugar: Pullman San Isidro, Lima, Perú (solo presencial) 🔹 Idioma: Español Los espacios son limitados: ¡asegura tu lugar!

Young ICCA is pleased to present a panel discussion of “Arbitration and the Future of Intellectual Property Disputes” during the fourth annual California International Arbitration Week (#CIAW), on 12 March 2025. 📅 12 March 2025 🕑 16:30 (PDT) 🌎 W Hotel, 930 Hilgard Avenue, Los Angeles, United States ✍ https://lnkd.in/dMv64xJ5.   Parties frequently opt for #arbitration where confidentiality is a concern, and arbitration can be attractive to parties in disputes involving intellectual property, technology, and life sciences, all of which are cornerstones of California’s economy. Jurisdictional rules often limit what is arbitrable, and parties have taken to including IP “carve-out” provisions in their contracts. More recently, however, a global trend in favor of the arbitrability of intellectual property disputes has seen a decline in the use of “carve-out” provisions and an increase in the number of intellectual property-related matters brought to arbitration.    This event will bring together a panel of diverse professionals working at the intersection of arbitration and intellectual property to discuss: (1) the varied nature of intellectual property disputes, from infringement actions to breach of contract claims; (2) the worldwide trend toward arbitrability and arbitration of intellectual property disputes; and (3) the advantages and disadvantages of arbitration for parties to such disputes.   The panel will be moderated by Young ICCA Co-Chair Eva Chan and will include Thomas Walsh (Partner, Freshfields), Rina See (Barrister, Bankside Chambers), and Giorgio Sassine (Associate, Musick Peeler; Secretary of the Board of California Arbitration (CalArb)). The panel discussion will last approximately 90 minutes, followed by a networking reception.
