9th January 2025 – The COMBAR arbitration lecture

Corruption in international arbitration: practical advice from three leading practitioners

Inspired by the issues arising from the decision of Robin Knowles J in Nigeria v P&ID [2023] EWHC 2638 (Comm), this panel session, chaired by Philippa Hopkins KC, will discuss the practicalities of dealing with issues of bribery and corruption in international arbitration. We will hear from three leading practitioners about steps that counsel, solicitors, arbitrators and institutions can and should be taking. A number of spaces will be held for solicitors to attend and drinks will be served after the lecture.

Panellists:

Richard Lissack KC, Fountain Court Chambers

Peter Binning, Corker Binning

Professor Dr Jacomijn van Haersolte-van Hof

The lecture will take place in the Ashworth Centre at Lincoln’s Inn from 5:45pm to 6.45pm.
