Dispute resolution and arbitration: preparing for conflict‑related claims in the O&G sector

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.

Regional conflict is a well-established catalyst for a surge in commercial disputes, including claims arising from delayed or cancelled projects, asset loss or damage, payment failures, and termination disputes — many of which will be subject to international arbitration. This webinar will examine the arbitral landscape for O&G disputes in the relevant region, assess the practical challenges of pursuing or defending claims during ongoing conflict, and consider investor-state dispute resolution options available under applicable investment treaties.
