I am honoured to join the May 2025 Monthly Meeting of Otu Oka-Iwu as the guest speaker for the Knowledge Sharing Session (KSS).
I will be speaking on the topic:
“Practical Steps to a Successful Arbitration Practice.”
As arbitration continues to evolve into a prominent mechanism for dispute resolution, this session will focus on practical and actionable strategies that we as legal practitioners can adopt to build a strong and sustainable arbitration practice within today’s dynamic legal environment.
It promises to be a rich and engaging session, where we will explore the mechanisms of arbitration and examine how it is reshaping dispute resolution and legal advocacy in Nigeria and beyond.
I look forward to seeing you there as we share ideas, build our networks and collectively invest in our professional development.
