Africa Oil Week (AOW) has announced the launch of the Extractives General Counsel Forum Virtual

Held in partnership with Africa Legal and Investing in African Mining Indaba, it will take place on 29-30 June 2021.

The Extractive General Counsel Forum will bring together leading in-house legal and compliance professionals from oil and gas, energy, and renewables as well as the mining sector. It will navigate the complex and multi-layered regimes, drilling down into the complex world of the extractives legal sector. 

Jacqueline Musiitwa, co-chair of the event and founder and director of Kalene Hill Resources, said, “The conversation will be an opportunity to hear from experts in the extractives sector and start a conversation, better yet move to potential to collaborate on cutting legal and societal issues. Prepare yourself to be challenged to use your various platforms to find solutions to some of the sector’s most pressuring issues.”

The expert speakers will discuss everything from growing expectations placed on General Counsels to industry trends. Key topics include:

Same but different? - What are the ‘ties that bind’ the oil, gas and mining sectors in Africa? Why have the in-house legal communities across these industries not traditionally networked and shared best practice?

March towards Accountability - ESG, climate-related, financial, diversity, community impact- Our panel dissects various approaches and options in handling the disclosure burden.

The Human Touch - Discover how sensible capital deployment and meaningful outreach can ensure that community and societal issues are headed off well in advance of the courtroom.

Renewable Energy in the Extractives Sector - Are in-house lawyers keeping pace with the opportunities on offer from recent advancements in energy and sustainability. 

Dinner Party Defence (Sponsored by Fulcrum) - The panel looks at how in-house counsel and their businesses should be looking at proactive solutions to the sector’s image problem.
