Disruption to trade flows through the Strait of Hormuz and the shutdown of critical energy infrastructure across the Middle East are reshaping the landscape for energy security and the global economy. 

Against the backdrop of rapidly evolving developments in the Middle East, join our US Regional Chapter and World Affairs Council of Greater Houston for a panel discussion on the short and long-term implications for global energy markets. Experts from the legal, financial, and energy sectors will examine supply disruption risk, changing trade flows, the role of key producers, contractual and regulatory exposure, and how current events in the Middle East are likely to influence future energy security and investment decisions.
