On 11 February 2026, student teams from the Universities of Lucerne and Basel held a mock hearing at our offices in preparation for the 33rd Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot in Vienna. A tribunal consisting of Laura Mahler (presiding arbitrator), Patrick Rohn and David Trachsel heard their oral arguments on both the procedural and substantive aspects of the moot case.<\/p>\n

The annual Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot\u00a0is an international competition amongst more than 380 student teams from universities across the world. The teams act as arbitration counsel in a dispute governed by the Vienna Convention (CISG). To that end, they submit written submissions and meet for the exchange of oral arguments in Vienna.<\/p>\n

Our law firm welcomes and supports the students’ interest to gather experience in international commercial arbitration already during law school and thus offers them the opportunity for mock pleadings in our offices. In addition, Thouvenin Rechtsanw\u00e4lte again sponsors the teams of the University of Lucerne and the University of Zurich.<\/p>\n
