A new group of young lawyers/arbitrators will help reinforce Miami’s reputation as an international center for alternative dispute resolution.

Called the Miami Very Young Arbitration Practitioners (MIA-VYAP), the group joins a network of VYAPs across the globe that engage in thought leadership and networking. The members are arbitration specialists, all younger than 35 and Miami-based, along with law students who are interested in pursuing international arbitration as a career.

Membership is open to all law students or lawyers under the age of 35 with an interest in international arbitration.
