Michael Black KC will join a panel discussion to discuss “Arbitration proceedings involving states and state-owned entities: strategic and procedural considerations” as part of Dubai Arbitration Week.

In a regional economy driven by state actors, you’ll face states and state-owned entities in arbitration proceedings. From starting arbitration proceedings to enforcing awards against states, pitfalls await the unprepared. Our experienced panel will discuss the strategic, procedural and practical considerations when a government or a government entity is involved. Foreign investors, private parties and government representatives alike will benefit from the discussion.

We are delighted to invite you to this exclusive event at the Capital Club. The event will be in an engaging panel discussion format. Mayer Brown Partner Alain Farhad will give the introductory remarks, followed by a panel discussion with panelists including Dr. Habib Al Mulla, Michael Black KC, Karam Farah, Lara Hamoud and Kevin Nash. The discussion will be jointly moderated by Mayer Brown lawyers Gerard Moore and Antonin Sobek.

After the panel discussion, lunch will be served, providing an opportunity for networking.
