Seyfarth Shaw LLP is pleased to sponsor the International Arbitration Certificate Program (IACP), taking place June 8–12, 2026, at the University of Houston Law Center.

We are proud to share that Sara Beiro Farabow, Partner and leader of Seyfarth’s International Dispute Resolution group, and Dr. James Dorough-Lewis and Katrina Bennett will serve as featured speakers in this globally recognized program.

The IACP brings together leading practitioners, arbitrators, and academics from around the world to provide immersive training in international arbitration. The program covers the full lifecycle of arbitration, including foundational principles, arbitral procedures, evidence and advocacy, enforcement of awards under the New York Convention, and emerging global trends.

• Dr. James Dorough-Lewis and Katrina Bennett will present on “Negotiating Arbitration Provisions in Cross-Border Transactions” on June 9.
• Sara Farabow will participate in the closing panel on Trends in Arbitration on June 12, alongside other distinguished international practitioners.

The program culminates in a mock arbitration hearing and certificate ceremony, offering participants a practical, hands-on learning experience.
