📰 Members of our global arbitration team Clara Tung, Katrien Baetens and Kimberley Pardailhe-Galabrun provided an overview of the critical interplay between international arbitration proceedings, data protection and cybersecurity, in the new “Practical insights – Data Protection” module published on Wolters Kluwer: International Arbitration & Mediation. Key themes include: 

🖋 the importance of proactive #cybersecurity measures and data protection compliance across all stages of #arbitration
🖋 the potential for cyberattacks to disrupt proceedings, compromise sensitive information, and even influence the outcomes of disputes
🖋 actionable guidance for legal professionals to navigate the complex web of #data protection laws, implement robust security protocols, and manage the risks of cyber threats effectively.

Our contribution of the Data Protection module, as well as a separate “Damages & Valuation” module, were coordinated by Richard H. and Juan Manuel Sánchez Pueyo, also members of our global arbitration team. 

Connect with our global arbitration group team to discuss the themes in detail and how they can support your business. Read the full publication here (paywall)👉: https://lnkd.in/gCA9URqA.

📢 A team led by Elaine Keats and Sirae Chen has advised The World Bank on the issuance of its nine-year US$225m, principal-protected Amazon Reforestation-Linked Bond – the largest World Bank outcome bond ever.

🌲 The bond will provide investors with a coupon that includes a fixed guaranteed component and a variable component linked to the generation of Carbon Removal Units from #reforestation projects in the #Amazonrainforest regions of Brazil. It is the first bond linking investors’ financial return to the removal of carbon from the atmosphere, differing from past transactions linked to the sale of #carboncredits from avoided emissions.

💬 Elaine Keats commented: "The Amazon Reforestation-Linked Bond marks a milestone in aligning private capital with tangible environmental and socioeconomic change. We are pleased to have supported the World Bank on another innovative bond which goes beyond traditional structures to create substantial mutual benefits among financial markets, environmental goals, and community development."
