The presentation will be focused on issues relating primarily to investor/State arbitration, since the issues are common to all cross-border transactions that may result in arbitration. Jurisdiction issues such as nationality of claims, state responsibility for acts of agents of the state, and rights of non-signatory claimants will be discussed. Specifically merit issues such as expropriation/nationalization, both direct and constructive takings, breaches of contractual obligations and Treaty obligations such as the umbrella clause, fair and equitable treatment, and finally, compensation and compensation standards.
This program is designed for attorneys and students interested in pursuing careers in International Arbitration.
