Join us at Hogan Lovells' offices in Paris for this in-person Paris Arbitration Week event, featuring an extraordinary panel of experts—including a former ambassador, leading arbitrators, international law scholars, practitioners, and journalists—exploring how Africa can transform its extractive industries into drivers of sustainable and responsible growth.
Africa, rich in critical minerals for the energy transition, stands at a crossroads: traditional investor-state arbitration has often undermined sovereignty and revenue capture, but new frameworks now allow states to reconcile sovereignty and legal certainty, responsible profitability, and endogenous value creation. Panelists will examine practical tools ranging from contract drafting (including price review provisions), pre-arbitral mechanisms such as mediation or expert determination, securing a social licence to operate, and using arbitration strategically to prevent escalation—as demonstrated by the recent Barrick Gold–Mali settlement.
Featuring an extraordinary panel of guest speakers:
Ambassador Namira Negm – Director, African Migration Observatory; Former Ambassador of Egypt to Rwanda
Prof. Laurence Boisson de Chazournes – Professor and Arbitrator, Matrix Chambers & University of Geneva
Dr Abayomi Okubote – International Arbitration Practitioner and Executive Director of the Africa Arbitration Academy
Melissa Ordonez – Partner, Hogan Lovells
Louise Margolin – Deputy Editor-in-Chief, Africa Business+ (Jeune Afrique Media Group)
Who should attend? – The event is free and open to all arbitration practitioners, corporate counsel, and stakeholders interested in extractive industries and dispute resolution in Africa.
Why attend? Network with top professionals, gain practical insights into navigating complex disputes, and discover how Africa’s extractive sector can combine legality, profitability, and sustainable impact.
Register now to secure your spot and engage with this distinguished panel! Please note that the event will start at 5pm.

Join us at Hogan Lovells' offices in Paris for this in-person Paris Arbitration Week event, featuring an extraordinary panel of experts—including a former ambassador, leading arbitrators, international law scholars, practitioners, and journalists—exploring how Africa can transform its extractive industries into drivers of sustainable and responsible growth.\r\n\r\nAfrica, rich in critical minerals for the energy transition, stands at a crossroads: traditional investor-state arbitration has often undermined sovereignty and revenue capture, but new frameworks now allow states to reconcile sovereignty and legal certainty, responsible profitability, and endogenous value creation. Panelists will examine practical tools ranging from contract drafting (including price review provisions), pre-arbitral mechanisms such as mediation or expert determination, securing a social licence to operate, and using arbitration strategically to prevent escalation—as demonstrated by the recent Barrick Gold–Mali settlement.\r\n\r\nFeaturing an extraordinary panel of guest speakers:\r\n\r\nAmbassador Namira Negm – Director, African Migration Observatory; Former Ambassador of Egypt to Rwanda\r\n\r\nProf. Laurence Boisson de Chazournes – Professor and Arbitrator, Matrix Chambers & University of Geneva\r\n\r\nDr Abayomi Okubote – International Arbitration Practitioner and Executive Director of the Africa Arbitration Academy\r\n\r\nMelissa Ordonez – Partner, Hogan Lovells\r\n\r\nLouise Margolin – Deputy Editor-in-Chief, Africa Business+ (Jeune Afrique Media Group)\r\n\r\nWho should attend? – The event is free and open to all arbitration practitioners, corporate counsel, and stakeholders interested in extractive industries and dispute resolution in Africa.\r\n\r\nWhy attend?

L’histoire de l’arbitrage n’est pas une simple succession de normes : elle est une onde longue, une vibration continue où le droit épouse les exigences du commerce. Dès le XVIIᵉ siècle, John Locke a compris ce que le monde globalisé confirme aujourd’hui avec force : le commerce ne prospère que là où le règlement des différends est rapide, fiable et affranchi de la lourdeur judiciaire. La Loi sur l’arbitrage de 1698, véritable acte fondateur, a insufflé au droit anglais une politique pro-arbitrage visionnaire, érigeant l’autonomie des parties et l’efficacité normative en piliers de la sécurité juridique.\r\nCette intuition lockéenne traverse les siècles et se retrouve, amplifiée, dans l’action contemporaine de la Commission des Nations Unies pour le droit commercial international (CNUDCI). En promouvant les modes alternatifs de règlement des conflits (MARC) comme réponse structurelle aux limites du contentieux étatique, la CNUDCI s’inscrit dans une filiation intellectuelle directe : celle d’un droit conçu non comme obstacle, mais comme accélérateur des échanges.\r\n\r\nÀ l’occasion des 60 ans de la CUNDCI et en hommage à Emmanuel Gaillard, l’Académie africaine de théorie du droit réaffirme que l’arbitrage n’est pas seulement un instrument de règlement des différends, mais un espace de réflexion philosophique, théorique et stratégique. Héritier d’une longue tradition humaniste, il renaît tel le phénix face aux pressions du marché et de la technique, affirmant la force de la clause fondée sur l’autonomie de la volonté. Crucial dans les secteurs pétrolier, gazier et des minerais critiques, où capitaux, technologies et asymétries de pouvoir engendrent des différends complexes, l’arbitrage international interroge sa nature, son ancrage et son ordre juridique autonome. Comprendre ces débats, c’est saisir l’arbitrage comme moteur de légitimité, d’innovation et d’éthique, et positionner l’Afrique au cœur du dialogue global sur la justice privée et la gouvernance économique transnationale.

Participating in this program has been truly transformative. PAW’s ability to weave together the history, theory, and practice of law is exceptional. By tracing the thread from John Locke and the 1698 Arbitration Act to the contemporary frameworks of UNCITRAL, the program demonstrates with remarkable clarity how law can serve as a powerful engine for commerce and economic development.\r\n\r\nWhat I found particularly compelling is its strategic focus on Africa, especially in sectors as critical as oil and gas. PAW goes beyond explaining legislation; it shows how arbitration can become a practical tool for stability, trust, and economic performance, turning potential disputes into opportunities for growth and collaboration.\r\n\r\nThe combination of rigorous historical insight, hands-on practical analysis, and forward-looking perspective makes PAW an inspiring, demanding, and highly valuable program for any professional in law, economics, or international arbitration. It is a space where intellect, strategy, and practice converge to create a visionary and electrifying understanding of law’s role in today’s global economy
