Osborne Partners participates in the launch of the GAR Academy
Our partner, Montek Mayal, is part of the GAR Academy faculty for Damages in International Arbitration. This is an exciting initiative which aims to break down damages and teach sections in a user-friendly and simple way. Montek will cover the legal principles that govern the award of damages, the assessment and valuation of damages, and damages issues in specific industries - namely electricity and gas supplies. The teaching has been designed with arbitrators and counsel in mind and is for those with a very basic understanding as well as a more confident grasp.

BetaVideo
Chris Osborne decided to take a look at the topic of beta. He felt it was an interesting topic to break down into OP shorts since while it was often used, perhaps not so often were estimates and different ways of calculating it considered.
Stranded Assets and Climate Change Related DisputesVideo
This OP shorts series on stranded assets had its genesis as we considered climate change more generally for a previous series. We explore these stranded assets and their owners, look at transition plans and how legal duties linked to climate change have opened up the disputes field in this area.
Climate ChangeVideo
Just as COP26 got everyone thinking about climate change even more, it got us thinking too. Again, we wanted to look at the root of the problem and explain the basics of climate change, what it was, looking at what had been done globally and in the UK. It also got us thinking more about stranded assets which is the theme of our next OP Shorts series.
Renewable Energy DisputesVideo
Our expert Dora looks at renewable energy disputes. Having been expert 9 times in Spanish solar cases, she has a unique insight.
Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)Video
We take a long, sprawling topic again and get to the essence. The result is an informative infographic on the BRI, a global infrastructure development strategy and arguably President Xi Jinping's signature foreign policy. As well as covering what it is, we also look at more recent development and cases.
Blockchain BasicsVideo
This was our first ever OP Short. Complicated things can't ever be made simple but we are good at breaking complicated things down and explaining them. Here we focus on how Blockchains are structured, the process of mining and consensus and some of the most common use cases.
