15th ITA-IEL-ICC Joint Conference on International Energy Arbitration

The Joint Conference is presented by the Institute for Transnational Arbitration (ITA), the Institute for Energy Law (IEL) and the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC).

The 15th ITA-IEL-ICC Joint Conference will bring together leading practitioners, in-house counsel, arbitrators, experts and academics to examine the forces reshaping international energy arbitration. It will address substantive issues relating to cross-border energy transmission disputes and the limits of sovereign immunity in enforcement. This conference explores emerging energy disputes, risks affecting contractual performance and energy infrastructure, and compensation issues involving Production Sharing Agreements.

Mayer Brown partner Jennifer Huang will attend as a panelist on "Price Shocks, Broken Promises and Facility Disruptions: When is Performance Excused?" This panel will discuss contractual force majeure, CISG, UCC and other statutory defenses and at-law doctrines such as impossibility and hardship, and the extent of the duty to mitigate, if any.
