DLA Piper hosts Global Vis Pre-Moot 2023

DLA Piper will be hosting its Annual Vis Pre-Moot in preparation for the 30th Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot.

The Stockholm Vis Pre-Moot will take place on 17-18 February 2023, as a part of the DLA Piper Global Vis Pre-Moots.

The event has the purpose of providing students with the opportunity to practice in the same format as the main competition, which is why, for the first time, the Pre-Moot will be held at our offices in Stockholm, Sweden. The Pre-Moot provides an excellent opportunity for teams from different countries to practice their oral pleadings ahead of the competition in March. All participating teams will plead before arbitral tribunals made up of experienced practitioners specialized in international arbitration.

Further information: Please contact Miljana Bigović.
Due to the limited capacity, participation in the Pre-Moot is subject to confirmation from the organizers.

We look forward to welcoming you and your team at one or more of the 2023 DLA Piper Global Vis Pre-Moots.
