Members of Des Voeux Chambers were delighted to participate in Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) (East Asia Branch) Annual Dinner last night, an evening filled with lively conversations and camaraderie among the arbitration community. The highlight of the evening was an entertaining and spirited debate on the motion: “This House believes that arbitrators are over-paid, underworked, and overvalued.”
The two guest speakers of the evening, Winnie Tam SC and Jose Maurellet SC took opposing sides in the light-hearted debate, delivering thought-provoking arguments that amused and captivated the audience. The motion was soundly defeated by voting amongst attendees.
We extend our sincere thanks to CIArb for hosting such a memorable and engaging event, and to all the attendees for fostering a vibrant exchange of ideas. We look forward to many more opportunities to connect and collaborate in the future!
