Two arbitral groups are co-operating to promote opportunities for practitioners. The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) and ArbitralWomen will hold joint events for young practitioners and women. The shared platform sees the introduction of discounts for members as well as more events. Amanda Lee, CIArb’s Young Members Group Chair, said: ‘Through joint co-operation we hope to foster and celebrate diversity and equality in this field and we look forward to an exciting line-up of events together.’ ArbitralWomen has nearly 2,000 members in more than 40 countries.
