In today's world of geopolitical tensions and economic challenges, it's crucial to understand the international protections against adverse governmental measures available to foreign investors in the banking and finance sector. These protections limit the measures that governments may take against a broad range of banking and finance investments and provide recourse to international arbitration when they are breached.
David Attanasio, a partner in Womble Bond Dickinson's international arbitration practice, along with Arif Ali, founder of AHALI Dispute Resolution, and the British Institute of International and Comparative Law are launching a comprehensive empirical study on the international investment protection for global banking and finance. This study shows exactly how those involved in global banking and finance have used investment protection to defend their rights - including through international arbitration - and when this legal mechanism has proven effective. Complete information about the study and a pre-publication version are available here.
Join us in Womble Bond Dickinson's London office on Wednesday 12 March to hear more from the authors and other experts.
