Our international arbitration teams across Africa and Europe, together with key global arbitration centres, presented the latest insights into how the international arbitration landscape is evolving. We also discussed how corporates and banks can react to these changes and best manage their business risks while, at the same time, contribute towards growth and sustainability on the African continent.
