About the ASA Advocacy Prize
With the objective of promoting the effective resolution of international commercial disputes through arbitration, ASA offers a prize at regular intervals for counsel who, through their exceptional talents in advocacy, contribute most effectively to this objective.
As an organization with a wide-ranging international membership, including arbitrators, counsel, and users with extensive international arbitration practice, ASA sees itself as ideally placed to contribute to this objective by identifying and publicising good examples of advocacy in international arbitration.
The award is given every two years, we plan to announce the next laureate during the Swiss Arbitration Summit 2024 on 1 February.
