On 24 March at 18:30 CET, NERA and White & Case will co-host a panel presentation discussing mining arbitration at Paris Arbitration Week 2026. NERA Senior Managing Director Christian Dippon and Director Ralph Meghames will speak alongside White & Case LLP Partners Samy Markbaoui and Damien Nyer, Derains & Gharavi Founding Partner Yves Derains, International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Managing Counsel Živa Filipič, and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia International Legal Affairs Office CEO Jonathan Marshall.

The session aims to explore key issues driving the recent surge in mining arbitration from both legal and economic perspectives. Some of the key topics we will cover include:

• Recent trends in mining related arbitrations.
• The impact of political instability, regime change, resource nationalism, and commodity cycles on mining projects and disputes.
• Quantum and valuation challenges in volatile environments, such as the limitations of DCF in politically unstable and price-volatile contexts, valuation dates, risk premia, and alternative market-based approaches.
