Baker Botts is pleased to host a panel discussion on the Lifecycle of a Successful Treaty Claim in the Mining Sector during London Arbitration Week on Thursday, 4 December.

This panel will focus on strategic considerations and practical tips for maximising legal protection of mining investments from the inception of a mining project to the enforcement of a final award, drawing on the panelists' experience and recent case examples.

Topics include:

• Strategy before the dispute arises: structuring investments to ensure there is protection under investment treaties in the event of a dispute with the host State later on;
• Establishing jurisdiction: instruments of consent (with particular focus on domestic investment laws as the source of the State's consent to arbitrate);
• Quantification of damages: different approaches (depending on the stage of the project and classification of mineral resources), best practices for documenting losses and evidence required for a reliable DCF model;
• Funding the arbitration (how funders assess mining treaty claims, including enforcement risk); and
• Award enforcement strategy.

Speakers include:

• Ben Love, Partner, Baker Botts
• Valeriya Kirsey, Senior Associate, Baker Botts
• Matthias Cazier-Darmois, Partner, HKA
• Emily Wyse Jackson, Senior Legal Counsel, Deminor Litigation Funding
• Ben Juratowitch KC, Barrister, Essex Court Chambers
• Isabel Asquith, Associate Managing Director, Raedas
