Summary

Christiane Deniger will speak on the panel, “Mining Disputes in Africa: Expect the Unexpected," at London International Disputes Week.

Christiane Deniger, Director at Burford Capital will speak on the panel, “Mining Disputes in Africa: Expect the Unexpected," at London International Disputes Week 2026. The session will take place on June 3 at 11:30am BST.

Africa’s mining sector is being reshaped by a combustible mix of unabated demand for critical minerals, resource nationalism, regulatory volatility, and security challenges across the region. At the same time, the incursions of artisanal miners, ever-changing tax regimes, coups and countercoups are becoming the new normal.

The session will focus on:

The rapidly changing commercial and investment-treaty arbitration landscape in the sector, triggered by the impact on long-term projects and supply chains, of challenging security conditions, commodity cycles, tax regime changes, changes in government and resource nationalism.
Remedies for the termination of mining concessions, illegal mining and discriminatory tax measures.
Sector-specific quantum models in treaty and commercial disputes.
Enforcement strategies in disputes involving African states and state-related entities.

Ms. Deniger will be joined by Poupak Anjomshoaa (DWF), Colin Johnson (Alvarez & Marsal) and Solomon Ebere (DWF).

LIDW brings together the international dispute resolution community whether based in London or around the world to debate and explore the key issues and topics, and to help drive awareness and best practice globally. LIDW aims to represent London’s dispute resolution community and demonstrate legal London’s commitment to diversity, inclusion and the rule of law.
