Dispute resolution - Mining
Mining forms an integral part of our dispute resolution practice. Our mining dispute resolution specialists are drawn from our offices across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, Canada, Kazakhstan and the Asia Pacific region, including Australia, and therefore have particular experience of the global commercial environment and both common and civil law systems. We are conversant with the unique legal, regulatory and other risks inherent in carrying out mining operations in difficult jurisdictions.
At the outset we look to advise you on risk avoidance strategies, negotiation and drafting of contracts and ancillary documentation. In the contentious arena, mining companies and financial institutions seek our advice on handling high value, complex and multi-jurisdictional disputes via litigation and international arbitration. These disputes can concern EPC contracts, joint venture agreements, licensing agreements, mining rights and ancillary contracts such as insurance, commodity off-take contracts, storage, international payments, carriage and shipment.
Our specialist industry knowledge encompasses dispute resolution regimes and bilateral investment treaties applicable to mining interests. Alternative dispute resolution is an area of particular strength for Norton Rose Group; a number of the team are qualified arbitrators and mediators.
