The Lagos Court of Arbitration (LCA) has commended the International Meetings on Business Law in Africa whose second edition just came to a close in Mauritius. The peculiarity of African issues in business took the front burner at the conferences organised under the theme: “African Issues in International Arbitration: Knowledge, Foresight and Planning”. The event was held at the prestigious, Hotel De Mauricia, Grand Baie.
The Conference was initiated as a platform of exchange and networking with special emphasis on structuring complex projects, as well as enlightening business players and legal practitioners looking at opportunities in the African market.
Bimpe Nkontchou, Director of the LCA, who attended the event, lauded the organisers and discussants expressing optimism that such forums for convergence would help Africa harness the potentials of foreign direct investments while ensuring that investors venture with confidence in the continent.
