Empowered and energized 💪🏾 The 2024 African Arbitration Association Conference has been a blast and today’s discussion has been extremely enriching. To wrap up the discussions are topics that are important and relevant within our current arbitration practice. Below is a summary of the topics: - Arbitrating Mass Claims. - Remediation and Damages. - Costs and funding issues. - Environmental aspect of Disputes Resolution. How can parties manage the cost of arbitration in order to benefit from cost effective nature of Arbitration? To manage the cost of arbitration the below should be thought through well. - Choice of Seat of Arbitration - Venue of arbitration - Choice of party/counsel representation. - Choice of arbitrator. - Number of Arbitrators/ Tribunal. Building on the ESG arbitration discussion from yesterday today’s topics have provided me with insightful information. The ESG complexity in relation to today discussion was very well handled by the various speakers.

The 2024 African Arbitration Association Conference’s focus on ESGs is giving participants an opportunity to explore the subject matter from a variety of perspectives. Today I joined an amazing team of Arbitrators in discussing ESGs in Commercial Arbitration. Our discussion explored how ESG principles are integrated into commercial agreements such as: supply chain agreements, credit facilities, joint ventures, and M&As, and their implications for commercial arbitration. During the discussion, I also shared insights on; - The current trends on ESG integrations in Joint Venture Agreements. - The role of Commercial Arbitration in ESGs disputes. - ESGs in Commercial Arbitration; What’s in it for Arbitrators? - A reflection on notable ESG related disputes in joint ventures. It was great collaborating with Natasha Peter; Duncan Bagshaw; Tsegaye Laurendeau; and Afolasade Banjo, MCIArb our moderator to deliver the session. iSettle Management Consultants #ESGsDisputes #CommercialArbitration #Investors #Investmentdisputes #States

A friend of Zambia -Michael Sullivan Q.C. Yesterday’s training on advocacy in international arbitration with focus on ICSID as delivered by Michael was top notch. If you are looking to enhance knowledge and skills as party representative, such short courses are highly recommended. On another note- Do you remember the Venture Fund Claim and Dr. Frederick Chiluba’s corruption case? This is Michael the great behind those cases.

📌ENFORCEABLE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT! Here are some key considerations worth taking note before you draft an arbitration agreement.
Tip 101: Enforceable Arbitration Agreement! Here are few tips you must consider before drafting an arbitration agreement. 1. Familiarize yourself with the the arbitration laws and rules in the jurisdiction you intend to enforce your arbitration decision in. The seat of arbitration impacts the enforceability of the arbitration award. 2. Check that the rules (Ciarb, ICC) you intend to include in your arbitration agreement, are suitable for your potential disputes and that parties understand and are agreed. 3. Reflect on possible disputes and analyze if there can be resolved through arbitration. Be clear on the disputes to be subjected to arbitration. For example, in Zambia, you can chose to subject all disputes to arbitration except for those which are excluded in Section 6 of the Arbitration Act No. 19 of 2000. 4. Research and establish that the appointing authority you intend to include in your agreement is in existence and functional. 5. Ensure that Parties understand and agree to including an arbitration agreement into the main contract. 6. Do you want a sole arbitrator or a tribunal? think about the implication of either choice. 7. How will the arbitrator(s) be chosen? These above and many more issues should be evaluated when drafting an arbitration agreement. Further, as laws of countries and rules of institutions change, it’s advised that arbitration clauses in contracts be reviewed from time to time in the life of a contract to align with any changes. For your peace of mind, engage a dispute resolution expert to help you understand how you can prevent complications that come with badly drafted arbitration agreements.
