To provide you with a deeper insight into the world of investment treaty arbitration, our International Dispute Resolution specialists organize an interactive presentation.
We will explain the nature of investment treaty arbitration and discuss a number of hot topics.
Using real-life examples taken from over 20 years of combined experience, we will answer your questions in English or French to help you in understanding this ever-evolving complex body of law.
This round-table will be structured as follows:
- Why are investment treaties relevant for your business ?
