GAR Academy Live: Workshop on the Art of Cross-Examination hosted by GAR
Join us for a half-day London workshop exploring what it takes to conduct a strong cross-examination. This practical session is designed to help you develop and strengthen one of the key skills in arbitration advocacy: cross-examination. Hosted as part of London Arbitration Week, it is a great opportunity to sharpen your advocacy skills alongside peers and leading practitioners.
The workshop features an interactive panel examining best practice, common mistakes and effective questioning techniques. You will work through realistic scenarios in groups, shape your own approach, and then present cross-examinations in pairs to the faculty for supportive feedback on how strengthen your technique.
Designed for junior arbitrators, this focused, hands-on workshop will help you build confidence, refine your questioning style and take away practical skills you can use immediately.
GAR Academy member tickets are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Group packages and firmwide licenses are available. Please contact Daniel Monk by calling +44 (0) 207 940 4899 or emailing Daniel.Monk@lbresearch.com for more information.
What our members say about GAR Academy
Attending the GAR Academy Live workshop is an excellent way to hone your cross-examination skills in a fun and lively setting with instruction and guidance from senior practitioners who have acted as counsel or have sat as arbitrators in complex commercial and investment arbitrations around the world. I am returning to the faculty this year because last year’s session was so engaging and informative. I’ve been practicing for over 30 years, and I still learned new things from my colleagues and the participants.

Really excellent—very practical and insightful. The range of experiences shared, especially first-hand ones, was unique and valuable. My colleagues and I found it particularly helpful for understanding psychological aspects. It’s also impressive that it’s led by practitioners, not just academics, and the focus on cross-examinations makes it stand out.
