RCAN was officially launched at the Law Society of England and Wales on 21 July 2011.
An audience of 110 international arbitration practitioners was welcomed to the venue by Law Society Vice President Lucy Scott-Moncrieff before RCAN Secretary Christina Schuetz (Clifford Chance), Treasurer Greg Lazarev (Herbert Smith), and founder member Nick Marsh (DLA Piper) explained to attendees what RCAN stands for and how we intend to operate.
The international nature of the audience was particularly pleasing with many delegates travelling from the capitals of Europe and beyond to attend. Prior to launch the Executive Committee ratified the Network’s new Constitution, which will help shape and govern RCAN for the foreseeable future.
