Why should you choose the SAA?

At the Swiss Arbitration Academy, we understand the need for practical training and offer a program, that has a distinctive practice-oriented approach. We aim to teach participants what cannot be learned from books alone, namely:

  •  by teaching all relevant aspects of arbitral proceedings form preparation and client handling to the final award

  •  by analyzing all aspects from the counsel’s as well as the arbitrator’s perspective

In addition, we invite more than 20 experienced guest practitioners to participate in different modules and to assist and coach students in various exercises.

The modules

While the first module provides an in-depth introduction to the fundamental features and the law of international arbitration, the following three modules cover practical issues on the basis of a mock arbitration case. 

Every module day, one or two renowned international guest speakers are invited to share their experiences and insights with a limited group of participants (approx. 20 persons). The unique blend of in-depth theory with a large range of practical tips and interactive drafting and pleading exercises, ensures an all-round preparation for a career as arbitrator and/or counsel. 

After the four-module training, participants will have acquired knowledge and valuable insights into how arbitration is conducted by counsel and arbitrators.
