“GAR Live: Energy Disputes 2025 was a fantastic event, bringing together leading experts from across the global energy sector and arbitrators and mediators to explore some of the most pressing legal and commercial challenges facing the industry. It was a real pleasure to take part in the nuclear-focused panel and highlight both the opportunities and complexities surrounding new nuclear. The high calibre of speakers and engaged audience made for a very informative day."
