Join us for a panel discussion that will explore the evolving landscape of international arbitration in the energy sector. With energy markets facing unprecedented volatility, the rise of climate-related obligations, and shifting geopolitical dynamics, energy disputes are becoming more frequent and complex.

Our featured speakers will discuss emerging trends such as price review disputes, the impact of sanctions on enforcement, and innovations in arbitral rules and institutions. They will also provide practical guidance on venue selection, enforcement of awards, and managing multi-jurisdictional legal teams.

Participants will leave with actionable insights into the latest dispute resolution strategies shaping the future of energy arbitration globally.
