ILI - 2012 International Investment Agreements and Investor-State Arbitration

In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of bilateral investment treaties and other agreements with investment related provisions. There has also been a sharp increase in the number of disputes between foreign investors and host governments. This course deals with issues arising out of these developments and will focus on; (i) international standards for the treatment of investments and (ii) various methods for resolution of investment related disputes, including mediation, contract renegotiation and arbitration. The course will cover topics of interest to lawyers, investors and government officials responsible for drafting, negotiating and interpreting investment agreements and resolving investment disputes.

Ian Laird is one of the Course Advisors at this event.
