Bench Walk funds $100 million arbitration claim against Peru

Bench Walk is funding an over $100 million arbitration claim brought by Lupaka Gold Corp. against the Republic of Peru. The arbitration pertains to the loss of Lupaka’s “Invicta Gold Development Project" due to alleged illegal blockades and invasions by a local community, which Peru allegedly failed to prevent, thus breaching the Canada-Peru Free Trade Agreement. The arbitration is well-advanced, with a final ruling expected in the very near future.

Lupaka is represented by LALIVE and Boies Schiller Flexner.
