Christina Hioureas will be speaking at the 14th ITA-IEL-ICC Joint Conference on International Energy Arbitration in Houston, Texas. The panel, on The Role of Advisory Opinions (ICJ/ITLOS) in the Regulation of International Energy Operations and the Risk for Energy Companies, will spotlight the anticipated influence of advisory opinions from the International Court of Justice, Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea on potentially redefining liability, compliance expectations for States and the fossil fuel industry, and environmental standards in the global energy arena. This forward-looking conversation will analyze how these developments may affect risk assessments and reshape business strategies across the energy industry.

The Joint Conference is presented by the Institute for Transnational Arbitration (ITA), the Institute for Energy Law (IEL) and the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and includes in house counsel from energy and technology companies as well as law firms from around the world. The conference aims to analyze key developments in international energy arbitration practice during the preceding year, with panels and debates concerning these developments.
