In this episode of AMAL, we speak with Louise Barrington, international arbitrator, Founder of the Vis East Moot, and Co-Founder of ArbitralWomen. Louise shares how a single course in Paris led her into international arbitration at a time when the field was small, male-dominated, and largely invisible to young lawyers, especially women.

She reflects on the early gender imbalance in arbitration, the origins of ArbitralWomen, and how the Vis and Vis East Moots have become major pathways for new talent. Our guest offers practical advice on building a career in arbitration today: from training and experience to visibility and self-advocacy.

A candid, thoughtful conversation about career-building, community-building, and the people who reshaped arbitration from the inside. If you are curious to hear more, click below to listen to this episode, and do not forget to share it with your friends.
