Below40@Vierländerkonferenz 2026

From the Family Estate to the Field of Play

📅 3 December 2026
📍 Kellerhals Carrard, Henric Petri-Strasse 35, 4051 Basel
⏱️ 13:30 - 18:00 (CET)

This event will explore arbitration without conventional contractual consent through two different fields: private client disputes and sports arbitration. The common questions include why someone is bound by an arbitration clause they did not negotiate, which rights cannot be waived, what procedural safeguards are needed, and which court ultimately gets the last word.
