Tsegaye Laurendeau authors ‘Private Capital, Sovereign Debt and Arbitration in Africa’ chapter in the Jus Mundi Arbitration Review

4 August 2026

Tsegaye examines how Africa is undergoing a fundamental shift in the composition, pricing and legal structure of capital, where private capital is playing an increasingly significant role. He considers that while sovereign bond disputes will continue to be resolved primarily through the courts, arbitration’s opportunity is in supporting project finance, public-private partnerships and other sovereign-adjacent structures through which private capital is deployed.

The Jus Mundi Arbitration Review (JMAR) provides authoritative global insights in the field of arbitration. It features contributions from the most experienced experts in international arbitration, offering a range of multipolar perspectives across key jurisdictions. Volume 3, Issue 2 focuses on arbitration in Africa and the MENA region, examining the legal and commercial developments shaping arbitration across both regions.

Signature Litigation's international arbitration practice advises clients on high-value and complex commercial and investment treaty disputes across a broad range of sectors, including energy, infrastructure, financial services, technology and life sciences. The team has extensive experience representing clients in proceedings under the rules of the major arbitral institutions, as well as in arbitration-related court proceedings. Tsegaye sits on the panel of experts/arbitrators of P.R.I.M.E. Finance, an international organisation which aims to assist with the resolution of disputes concerning complex financial products. He has also been elected as a member of the ICC Court for the 2024-2027 mandate.
