Panel 1: Volatility in the Energy Industry: Navigating the Uncertain Waters of 2020 This roundtable discussion will feature a leading energy practitioner in conversation with eminent in-house counsel as they examine the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic along with the drop in oil prices and demand on commercial contracts and investments in the energy industry. The speakers will address how energy companies have managed the impacts of the current global reality and attempted to mitigate their risks going forward. The discussion will examine how the present landscape has given or may give rise to the review, suspension and termination of contracts/projects and what impact the current disruptions have had on various strategic considerations in relation to ongoing disputes, business relationships and dispute resolution choices.

Panel 2: Getting to the Truth About Witness Evidence: Practitioners Confess The panel will lead an interactive discussion and invite the audience to participate in a series of hypothetical scenarios regarding choices around the preparation and presentation of witness evidence. How might counsel’s strategic plan for witness evidence change depending on whether the hearing will be in-person or virtual? What practical steps might be taken by counsel to improve the value or persuasiveness of witness evidence? What would arbitral tribunals like to see more of, or less of, from counsel when presenting witness evidence? What steps can arbitrators take to allay concerns about being able to properly assess the credibility and significance of witness evidence in a virtual environment?
