CIArb’s Young Members Group Steering Committee elects new chair and vice-chair

The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators’ (Ciarb) Young Members Group (YMG) has appointed two new members to join their Steering Committee for 2023.

Baptiste Rigaudeau MCIArb is a dual-trained French dispute resolution lawyer who joins as YMG’s new chair. Cam Tu Vo Nguyen MCIArb is a dual-qualified lawyer admitted in Paris and New York and joins as YMG’s new vice-chair.

Cam Tu says their first objective is ‘to develop Ciarb’s global network further among law students and young practitioners.’ She says their second objective is ‘to enable access to Ciarb’s education and training programs, especially in under-represented jurisdictions.’
