Speaking Engagement

ABA International Arbitration Masterclass

June 17, 2025

Partners Diana Paraguacuto-Mahéo and Daniel Schimmel will be panelists at the American Bar Association’s 2025 International Arbitration Skills Masterclass, of which Foley Hoag is a proud sponsor. The Masterclass will comprise a mixture of panel discussions and practice sessions, covering all aspects of an arbitral hearing (opening statements, examination of witnesses, examination of experts, and closing statements). Panelists will share their experiences and advice on how to deliver powerful oral submissions and effectively examine witnesses. There will also be a session on top tips for making an impact in a hearing. After each panel discussion, the participants will have an opportunity to develop their advocacy and witness-examination skills through practice sessions in groups of four participants. Each practice session will be supervised by an experienced faculty member, who will provide participants with tailored feedback.
