In the last five years, dozens of mining disputes were registered by ICSID, the majority of which are still pending, not to mention those before UNCITRAL, ICC or LCIA tribunals. Consistent with the size and scale of mining operations abroad, the damages claimed in those arbitrations are significant and many claimants have turned to arbitration finance in order to advance their claims. Versant Partners Garrett Rush and Kiran Sequeira, as well as Burford Director Jeffery Commission, will host a complimentary webcast on Thursday, April 30, 2020 at 12:30 pm (New York / Washington, DC) / 5:30 pm (London) / 6:30 pm (Paris) to examine historical trends in mining arbitrations, and the awards rendered by ICSID and other tribunals.
