Join us for this exciting look into the challenges and the opportunities of the oil and gas sector in Africa!
The Conference will take an in-depth look into lessons learnt from Africa’s over six decades of experience in the Oil and Gas industry and the role of arbitration. Focus will include new opportunities such as local content promotion, energy transition and legal innovations. The Conference will also address challenges including climate change disputes, project financing issues, and navigating regulations.
This is a must-attend for seasoned and young arbitration practitioners with interest in African oil and gas disputes, in-house counsel, executives in oil and gas companies and stakeholders in the public sector and civil society.
