What this session will cover
As African economies continue to grow, the resolution of commercial disputes is an increasingly critical aspect for states, investors and contractors of creating a conducive environment for business and economic growth. Most arbitrations involving states arise out of the contracts made between private contractors or investors and states and state-owned companies. They present special challenges of strategy, law and enforcement, which can be tricky to navigate. In this session, a group of highly experienced specialists will discuss several aspects of the expert’s tool-kit for handling such cases, with reference to their own experience resolving disputes in the region.
