Welcome to the 60^th issue of the ArbitralWomen Newsletter. In this edition, the President’s Column reflects on the importance of champions, sponsors and allies in creating meaningful opportunities and advancing broader representation in international dispute resolution.

This issue features an interview with Dr Inka Hanefeld, who shares insights from her career in international arbitration, from founding Germany’s first dispute resolution boutique to her work with leading arbitral institutions. We also mark election time for the ArbitralWomen Board and encourage eligible members to help shape the organisation’s next chapter.

Also in this issue, you will find reports from UNCITRAL Working Groups III and II, highlights from ArbitralWomen’s event at Riyadh International Disputes Week 2026, the International Women’s Day #GiveToGain campaign, and ArbitralWomen’s return to Africa in the Moot in Nairobi. Additional articles explore energy disputes, legal culture and language in arbitration, and KCAB’s 2026 International Arbitration Rules.
