Sponsors
The participation in the Annual Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot is one of the most valuable courses which is offered to students, but it is also one of the most costly.
Every team thus depends on the support of sponsors. Ideally, the self-contribution of the students would be reduced to an amount which is affordable to any student. The individual potential, not the individual financial situation (or the financial situation of the parents) should decide the students' possibility of joining the Moot.
In return, our Sponsors get contact to a handpicked selection of students which belong to the best of their years. The supporting law firms can meet the students at a rehearsal hearing. Furthermore, we name the Sponsors in the team presentations. Through this, we express our appreciation for our sponsors' support, which is also a "good deed" to the students.
For tax purposes, support may be provided either as a donation for which a donation receipt can be issued, or under a sponsorship agreement, under which the contribution can be deducted by the sponsor as a business expense. We would be happy to provide further details on request.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the board of the Humboldt Moot Association.
