#YOUNGITATALKS Lagos

Overview

Presented by Young ITA, Co-sponsored by Nigerian Institute of Chartered Arbitrators

The availability of clean energy in Africa is pivotal for economic growth and environmental protection in the continent. In recent years, we have witnessed a huge increase in investments in the energy sector and as a result, a plethora of disputes involving large-scale energy projects have arisen. Most of these disputes have typically been resolved through international commercial and investor-state arbitration. There is therefore the need to look into the role of arbitration in ensuring clean energy in Africa. 

#YoungITATalks is a series of local events presented around the world, featuring talks, workshops or interviews that cover a wide range of subjects relating to arbitration. The #YoungITATalks series is designed for education, conversation and sharing knowledge and experiences among young practitioners.

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, this event is tuition-free and includes drinks and hors d’oeuvres. Please register in advance to help us get an accurate headcount.
