International Investment Law & Investor-State Dispute Settlement
8 November 2022 - 10 November 2022
Online, 9:00 AM EST An overview of the evolving law & practice of this critical transn'l practice area. This program examines this topic from a balanced perspective, considering the positions of both sovereign States facing such disputes and affected investors considering or in the process of int'l arbitration proceedings against host States under BITs and other int'l investment agreements. With a focus on both the theoretical aspects of Int'l Investment Law and the practical aspects of ISDS, this program provides insight into both the global and regional realities in today’s world. Recent geopolitical and economic developments, and particularly Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, are likely to manifest in a surge of investor-State arbitration cases in the near future, making it all the more important that those affected have a better understanding of the current state of the law, practice and jurisprudence in what is one of the fastest developing areas of public int'l law.
