The International Advocacy Academy is a market leader in advocacy training for Arbitral Institutions, legal practitioners and advocates around the world. Founded and run by barristers experienced in arbitration, IAA employs proven techniques developed from the common law advocacy training tradition to enhance advocacy skills, improve understanding in arbitral proceedings and refine performance in arbitration.

As demand for arbitration grows, so too does the need for skilled advocates who have an in-depth knowledge of arbitral rules and who are able to present their clients’ cases effectively in cross-border disputes. In response to this demand and in order to provide additional value to their members, Arbitral Institutions rely upon IAA to supply the trainers, materials and bespoke training that the Institution could not otherwise provide.

IAA’s short and intensive courses are delivered exclusively by accomplished barristers with first-hand experience of arbitration and common law advocacy training. Through an international network of trainers, arbitrators, industry experts and corporate partnerships, IAA is able to provide training and unique networking opportunities on behalf of Arbitral Institutions and other public bodies worldwide.
