What does it take to be a good leader, and what does it take to be a good team player? Do the two sets of characteristics support one another or sometimes pull in different directions?

Join Young ITA and Wolters Kluwer for a candid conversation with Gary Born, one of the most influential figures in international arbitration. Gary has built a market-leading practice as counsel in international disputes and authored the field's most widely-used treatise, as well as other works. In conversation with Harriet Foster, a member of the Young ITA board, Gary will reflect on what he has learned from leading teams, sitting on tribunals, and working with colleagues at every career stage. He will also share practical advice for young practitioners on building trust, giving and receiving feedback, being a strong team player, and growing into leadership roles.

The event will take place in person at King & Spalding's Paris office. Attendees are invited to stay for networking drinks after the discussion. A recording will be available after the event for anyone who was not able to participate.

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsor, this event is tuition-free.
