Conference on Investment Law and Arbitration

Zurück zur Liste

Having to cope with countless and increasingly complex proceedings while continuously being the subject of heated debate in the midst of public opinion, the evolving field of investment law and arbitration presents an abundance of challenges in its interpretation and application. Please join us debating these common challenges of academics and practitioners.

The 2nd Bucerius Law School Conference on Investment Law and Arbitration featuring Dr. Yas Banifatemi and Professor Dr. Kaj Hobér as its Honorary Patrons will take place at Bucerius Law School on 2 and 3 April 2022. The conference is part of the Hamburg International Arbitration Days.

Investment law and arbitration are the workhorses of international economic law. They are heavily relied upon around the globe and have to cope with the demands of countless and increasingly complex proceedings. At the same time, they regularly are the subject of a heated debate in the midst of public opinion. Both of these factors have led to the field of investment protection being a focus of the international legal community and subject to continuous changes. Therefore, investment protection presents an abundance of challenges in its interpretation and application. While these problems are often deeply rooted in the doctrinal foundations of international law, they similarly surface during arbitral proceedings.

Please join our great panelists and moderators in debating these common challenges of academics and practitioners.
