Inside the Room: ICC Advanced Training on Drafting Enforceable Awards | ICC Africa Conference Day 1

I spent today at the ICC Institute of World Business Law Advanced Training on Drafting Enforceable Awards in Lagos - and I am bringing everything back to you.In this debrief, I cover what the sessions taught about drafting style, the civil law versus common law divide, and the six building blocks every award must contain. I go deep on the sections practitioners get wrong most often - jurisdiction, damages, interest, and costs - including a real example of a Nigerian enforcement attempt that failed because three words were missing from the award.I also take you inside the ICC scrutiny process in a way most practitioners never get to see, and walk you through a mock court session where our working group tore apart a defective draft award line by line.If you draft awards, appear before tribunals, or advise clients who need those awards enforced - this episode is for you.
