Energy policy and energy security in a geopolitically uncertain world

This timely series is designed to support businesses operating across the oil and gas sector as they navigate the legal, regulatory, and commercial challenges arising from ongoing regional conflict and heightened geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East.

The webinars bring together our leading oil and gas specialists from across the firm, spanning Corporate and M&A, Sanctions and Export Controls, Insurance, Disputes and Arbitration, Regulatory, and Risk Advisory. The sessions are aimed at companies active across the entire oil and gas value chain, including operators, service providers, investors, and joint venture partners.

This session will focus on analysing how courts and arbitral tribunals have interpreted force majeure in conflict scenarios. During the session, we will also identify some of the most common drafting pitfalls that can arise in these contexts, ensuring everyone is equipped to avoid them in the future.

Additionally, we will be offering practical guidance on the steps operators and counterparties should be taking right now to preserve their contractual positions and mitigate any potential exposure. This is a valuable opportunity for everyone involved to strengthen their understanding and prepare proactive strategies.
