Course Description

The Energy Industry puts resources into enormous, intricate, capital-escalated projects that have long life expectancies. Conditions, financial matters, governments and gatherings perpetually change in these energy projects, which can regularly prompt questions. The outcome is that the global energy sector, alongside its related construction projects, makes up the largest portfolio of international commercial and state investment disputes in the world.

Disputes are therefore a significant risk in any international energy project. The risk is not whether a project will have a dispute, but rather in how well a party can manage that dispute to get a satisfactory result. Parties therefore need to continually manage that risk from the inception of the deal through to the point when a dispute arises and is eventually resolved. This course provides the knowledge and tools to do so.

Energy disputes often have a very high monetary value, a strong public interest and a cross-border character, due to the origin of the parties involved. How Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) can lead to better and often quicker decisions, enhanced certainty, more procedural flexibility, potential cost savings, and other efficiencies. ADR will allow the industry, including businesses, regulators, and consumers, to take more control over its destiny and create workable solutions fitting individual circumstances.
