At Watson Farley & Williams we are committed to providing comprehensive and efficient legal solutions for our clients.
As part of this vision, we held an event moderated by Madrid Partner Victor Mercedes on 25 April 2023 at 17.00 at our Madrid offices. We met with experts in energy arbitration to discuss first-hand issues of interest and current concerns in relation to this matter. Discussions focussed on the latest developments regarding arbitral tribunals in Spain (CIAM in Madrid), a case study of the main arbitral institutions in the energy sector, the latest trends in both commercial and investment ICSID arbitration in the energy sector and critical procedural and substantive aspects.
