Join us for an evening of discussion and debate, followed by networking drinks and canapés. The evening is aimed at more junior practitioners but all are welcome to attend. We hope that you will be able to join us for what we are sure will be a very lively and enjoyable evening.

Energy disputes often give rise to unique legal issues, particularly where states and state entities are involved. This event focuses on such issues, with counsel sharing experiences (both procedural and substantive) and perspectives of both energy companies and state entities represented.

The #YoungITATalks series is designed for education, conversation and sharing knowledge and experiences among young practitioners.
