Young Arbitrators Sweden (YAS)

YAS provides a platform for networking and exchanging knowledge in the arbitration community for the purpose of increasing know-how and develop interest in arbitration practices among young professionals in the field of commercial dispute resolution. To achieve this, YAS frequently organises seminars, trainings and other activities in Sweden and abroad. In addition, YAS is active in promoting Sweden as a seat in international arbitration, and Swedish law as applicable substantive law in international commercial contracts. For this purpose, and in cooperation with the Swedish Arbitration Association (SAA), YAS has published the brochure Swedish Law and Arbitration – Reasons for Choosing Swedish Law and Dispute Resolution in International Commercial Contracts. The brochure has been published in English, Russian and Chinese and is a useful guide to lawyers and others involved in drafting international commercial contracts. Membership in YAS is open for Swedish and foreign lawyers (attorneys, judges and others) aged 45 and below, who are active in the field of arbitration and commercial litigation.
