During Paris Arbitration Week 2026, Dr. Mahmood Hussain, Founding Partner of M&CO Legal, participated as a speaker in the panel discussion titled “Arbitration in a ‘No Rules’ Geopolitical Era.”
The session explored the evolving challenges facing international arbitration in an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape. The discussion focused on how counterparties are adopting sophisticated strategies to obscure ownership, frustrate enforcement, and navigate disputes across favourable jurisdictions—highlighting the growing intersection of law, politics, and strategic risk.
Dr. Hussain joined a distinguished panel of practitioners and experts, contributing insights on political risk in arbitration, complex ownership structures, evidentiary challenges, and cross-border enforcement strategies. The session offered practical perspectives on navigating disputes in today’s dynamic and uncertain global environment.
The event was held on 24 March 2026 at the Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP office in Paris.
