SCL France & African Construction Law Joint Event (Roundtable & Cocktail)

Presentation

Interactive discussions which will offer insights into the evolution – past, present and prospective – of construction disputes in Africa, based on a “macro-vision” of geopolitical shifts, and one that will push us all collectively to think “outside the box”. The questions put to the panel will include:
 What are the geopolitical changes affecting the continent?
 What trends are expected in the future?
 How are different parts of the continent affected by these changes?
 What can be expected in the future in that regard?
 The increase of intra-African business and how it flows from / relates to / results in geopolitical changes
 Evolution of the business climate generally
 How is dispute resolution (domestic / intra-African / international (i.e., ex-Africa)) generally affected by the above?
 How is the construction industry affected? (Type of projects, Size of projects, Effect on construction industry players (public authorities / private employers (international / local) / contractors (international / local) / financiers / engineers / lawyers) and Dispute resolution)
 Looking to the future: the place of the continent in future evolutions of dispute resolution
