Venue: ILI Headquarters, 1055 Thomas Jefferson St., NW, Suite M-100, Washington, DC, 20007. The use of investment treaties – including bilateral investment treaties (BITs) and free trade agreements (FTAs) - has exploded in recent years. Almost 3000 such treaties are in effect. Foreign investors have used BITs to initiate hundreds of international arbitration disputes against host governments with amounts ranging from a few million to several billion dollars in connection with foreign investments. This seminar teaches participants about international investment treaties and also how to prevent and resolve disputes arising from them. Course advisors include: Ian A. Laird, Crowell & Moring LLP; and Dr. Borzu Sabahi, Curtis, Mallet-Prevost Colt & Mosle LLP. https://www.ili.org/training/ili-brochure/upcoming-programs-and-events/944-2019-international-investment-treaties-and-investor-state-arbitration.html.
