Mining and Commodities Arbitration Trends 2023

23 February 2023

What are the key trends for global disputes and international arbitration for the mining and commodities sector in 2023 and beyond?

In our inaugural Mining and Commodities Arbitration Trends Report we consider how disruptions caused by the Russia-Ukraine war, the ensuing economic sanctions on Russia and retaliation measures are likely to trigger new disputes, including those related to investor protection and the terms of companies' withdrawals of their businesses from Russia.

We also consider disputes that may arise from other pressures on mining companies – including supply and demand disruptions worldwide, price volatility, and increasing environmental and emissions regulations.

We look in particular at:

  • Restrictions on minerals from Russia
  • Battery metals
  • Gold prices
  • The impact of operational improvements
