Join us in Lagos for the first edition of the ICC Nigeria Arbitration Days. The theme of this major Arbitration event in Nigeria will focus on harnessing the prospects of Arbitration and ADR in Emerging Hubs.
This must-attend two-days conference will offer delegates the opportunity to engage in discussions on a wide range of topical issues affecting the practice and development of International Arbitration and ADR in Nigeria. The topics of discussion at this conference will cover major business sectors such as International Trade, Investment, and Commercial Arbitration, Telecommunications, Energy, Oil & Gas, Banking and financial services, Manufacturing, Construction, Shipping and Intellectual Property, to mention a few. There is no doubt that participants will benefit from the debates and conclusions that will be reached at this conference.
