The Event
Join leading barristers from 39 Essex Chambers — Paul Hayes KC, Katherine Apps KC and Nicholas Higgs — together with Camilla Godman of Omni Bridgeway, Dan Arenson and Gary Blackburn of JS Held as they explore how well contractual clauses are standing up to and subsequent arbitrations are dealing with contract performance and satisfaction of other obligations considering increasingly disruptive geopolitical events and other crises; the doctrine of frustration and force majeure clauses; practical challenges of managing unexpected risks within projects on quantum and delay; the longer term impact of unexpected geopolitical events on assessing political risk; and the impact of geopolitical events and crises on litigation funding.
