International Law Summits (ILS) will be hosting its 5th Annual Conference on Energy Arbitration and Dispute Resolution in the Middle East and Africa on 10th and 11th February 2022 at the London offices of Herbert Smiths Freehills LLP. The event is sponsored by Grant Thornton and Burford Capital, and supported by a number of international arbitral institutions.

The unique event will bring together policy makers, government officials, diplomats, arbitration institutions, energy professionals, legal practitioners and academics with an interest in the African and Middle Eastern energy industries, and aims to generate lively debate, knowledge exchange and professional connections through a 2-day programme of lectures, panel discussions and networking receptions.

As has been the case with previous editions of the conference, the programme is designed to generate expert insights on the resolution of energy disputes through a combination of high-level theoretical debate and practical guidance.
