From August 10-13, CLDP held a workshop for lawyers from the National Investment Commission, Prime Minister’s Advisory Council, Ministry of Finance, and select Provincial Investment Commissions to utilize the newly published CLDP-NIC Iraq Guidebook on Investment Contract Drafting.  The workshop focused on training the respective lawyers on drafting sample investment contracts in a number of sectors using the Guidebook. Ultimately, the Guidebook will provide the foundation for domestic/international investors as well as Iraqi government officials to work together on drafting effective, comprehensive and equitable investment contracts that can spur investment in critical sectors and thereby bolster economic growth in Iraq.
