Every two years the LCIA’s Young International Arbitration Group runs the prestigious Gillis Wetter Memorial Prize.

About The Gillis Wetter Memorial Prize

Dr Gillis Wetter was the author of many highly regarded texts on international arbitration, including “The International Arbitral Process” (1979) and was one of the first truly great international arbitration lawyers of modern times. He is remembered in particular for extending an “avuncular and helping hand” to those students and young lawyers seeking to make their way in the world of international arbitration. His untimely death in 1995 was viewed by his friends and colleagues as a great loss to the cause of international arbitration.

To commemorate his role as a scholar and educator in the field of international arbitration, the annual Gillis Wetter Memorial Prize was established in 1996.
