Resumen de Arizona University establishes global mining law centre
Ana Basitida, lecturer, at Dundee University's Centre for Energy Petroleum and Mineral Law and Policy (CEPMLP) and director of an LLM programme in Mining Business Management at Argentina's Universidad Catolica de Cuyo, added that mining law has expanded with the development of areas of law and regulation applicable to "expectations from a broad range of stakeholders on the impacts and developmental outcomes of the activity".
[John Mollard] likewise points to the need for expertise in areas relating to community concerns, indigenous rights, sustainability, development approvals and sovereign risk, anti-bribery and anti-corruption (ABC) legislation compliance (which includes the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act), and third party access to infrastructure. "The breadth of legal expertise required by the mining industry in recent years has grown significantly in recent years," he said.
"In addition," he added, "a number of mines have been put on care and maintenance, therefore associated operational legal advice is reduced."
