Join us in Johannesburg and Cape Town for the first ICC South African Arbitration and ADR Days. The theme for this edition is fostering efficient and robust dispute resolution solutions for African businesses.
Africa is currently facing many challenges, including unemployment, underemployment, underinvestment in infrastructure, fiscal crisis, political change and climate change.
It has never been more urgent for economic operators both in Africa and abroad to establish a robust and efficient dispute prevention and resolution infrastructure, fostering trust and legal safety in their activities.
This first edition of ICC South African Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Days will bring together leaders in the private and public sectors, engineers, lawyers, in-house counsel, and young practitioners. It will focus on efficient and robust dispute resolution solutions for African businesses and touch on the 100-year legacy of the ICC Court for leading dispute resolution.

ICC YAAF: Unlocking ADR solutions for the young practitioner | Hogan Lovells | 12:00 pm -2:15 pm (SAST) | Johannesburg
Join us in Johannesburg for an exciting debate on arbitration and adjudication as dispute resolution platforms, as well as their advantages and disadvantages.
Organised by ICC Young Arbitrators and ADR Forum (YAAF) this event will cover the advantages and disadvantages of arbitration and adjudication as dispute resolution platforms. While both serve specific purposes, in practice, particularly in the infrastructure sector, professionals might not be able to choose which to use, and the outcome would still be enforceable one way or the other. This event is ideal for legal practitioners, experts, and consultants involved in, or who wish to be involved in, the infrastructure sector and international arbitration landscapes. It will be a great opportunity for legal practitioners and experts.
