The newly established Public Law Commission is organizing its very first AIJA seminar together with the Sports Law Commission, the International Business Law Commission, and the Arbitration Commission. We are all delighted to invite you to join us in Lausanne, Switzerland, for a double seminar weekend focusing on government contracts and sports law from 6-8 April 2017.

The governance of world sports has more and more come under the scrutiny of the public. Choosing the next venue for the world championships or the Olympic Games or even the elections of the president of a sport federation has become a real challenge. Sports lawyers, federation's officials and athletes as well as the legal counsels will cover the topics from their perspective, and discuss how the legal protection of all stakeholders involved works and how it could be improved.

Professionals working in the public law sector will be discussing the legal challenges when contracting with states in particular in connection with major building projects. The seminar will be an excellent occasion for you to discuss all these legal challenges. Therewith, lively debates and exchanges of experiences are guaranteed. Even though the seminar on government contracts addresses questions of public procurement law, it also has a strong focus on contractual questions such as standard forms of contracts, typical general contractors' problems and defects & liabilities. The seminar will be completed by some litigation and arbitration war stories in relation to government contracts.

The double seminar will of course not only academically discuss the legal challenges but also give you the possibility to experience the capital of world sports, Lausanne. Apart of visiting the Olympic Museum there will be the opportunity to enjoy the vineyards at the famous Lake Geneva shore which are recognized as an UNESCO world heritage site. This will make you remember the seminar forever.
