Mining Arbitrations in Africa

Paris, France

Cleary Gottlieb partner Laurie Achtouk-Spivak participated in the “Mining Arbitrations in Africa,” as part of Paris Arbitration Week.

The discussion focused on key issues affecting mining disputes in Africa, including recent political changes and conflict, as well as governments revisiting or terminating agreements with foreign investors. Panelists explored the role of geopolitics on Africa’s mineral sector and the growing tensions around resources needed for the global energy shift, and shared strategies for managing dispute risks and navigating arbitrations in the sector while balancing business goals with social and environmental concerns.
