The Rising Arbitrators Initiative

Whether you’re winning championships or building businesses, those who have been successful often say that the first one is the hardest one to get—that advice also applies in the world of international arbitration.  Getting that first appointment is crucial, and so is building on your profile to get subsequent appointments.  One organization, the Rising Arbitrator’s Initiative, wants to help the next generation or arbitrators get that foothold.  Although founded just last year, the group is already making waves which is why we sat down with the three members of their executive committee— ANA GERDAU DE BORJA MERCEREAU, ALEXANDER G. LEVENTHAL, and ROCÍO DIGÓN–to have a conversation.  Check it out:
