Significant transactions to secure acreages and layers of licences and government/ regulatory approvals has created a new corruption environment and typologies.

During the session we will focus on the below key areas of risk and provide practical insight on how to manage the old and emerging risks energy firms face.

Our panel of specialists from the UK, Africa and China will explore:
