China Pakistan Economic Corridor

$100 Billion Dollar Infrastructure and Development Investment Project in Pakistan.

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a $100 billion infrastructure & development project launched in 2015 under the leadership of Chinese President Xi Jinping and Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. As the second most high value project after Neom, CPEC is one of the most ambitious economic collaborations globally, encompassing a diverse portfolio of projects, including 21 energy ventures (CPEC Energy), 24 major infrastructure developments (CPEC Infrastructure), and 14 strategic projects in Gwadar (CPEC Gwadar), among other miscellaneous projects. Now in the final stages of completion, these projects are expected to enter into a phase of dispute eruption by late 2025. Governed under FIDIC Red Book 2017 and Silver Book, the resolution of potential disputes requires neutral nationals as arbitrators, non-Pakistani and non-Chinese professionals to act as adjudicators and arbitrators.

Opportunities for International Practitioners in CPEC

As CPEC progresses toward operational maturity, international practitioners have a unique opportunity to explore dispute appointment opportunities and engage in high-value dispute resolution roles within one of the world's largest infrastructure corridors under FIDIC Red Book 2017 and Silver Book contracts. We are seeking experienced international adjudicators, arbitrators, and dispute resolution professionals (who are neither Pakistani nor Chinese nationals) to express interest in upcoming opportunities. For those interested in exploring dispute appointment opportunities further, we welcome inquiries into the evolving legal and commercial landscape of CPEC.
