About KCAB Next
KCAB Next is an ongoing platform
where ideas are exchanged and professional friendships are nurtured among the
most active and visible younger members of the arbitration community in
Korea. Supported by KCAB INTERATIONAL, KCAB Next will hold periodic
networking social events and yearly (or biannual) interactive workshops that
help enhance the members’ legal skills as advocates and as arbitrators. KCAB
Next will also provide valuable advice to the KCAB INTERATIONAL in planning
for KCAB related events, especially in identifying issues and reaching out to
potential speakers most relevant to the current trends in international
arbitration. These events will likely focus not only on promoting KCAB
INTERNATIONAL, but also on promoting the arbitration community members
closely involved with Korea, who are dedicated to promote Korea as a true
international arbitration hub. The ultimate aim of KCAB Next is to embrace
the new trends and changes in the arbitration community by offering a
platform on which the next generation of leading arbitrators and lawyers in
Korea can be discovered.
