About the Bootcamp:
The INVESTMENT ARBITRATION BOOTCAMP provides intensive learning in the rapidly growing area of international investment Arbitration. Attendees will gain advanced and detailed knowledge and highly practical skills in the field of international investment law and arbitration. Over the past decade, the field of investment treaty arbitrations has experienced a significant surge.
With nearly 3,000 bilateral investment protection treaties and two major multilateral investment protection treaties, it is foreseeable that this trend will persist. Furthermore, the European Union (EU) is expected to play an increasingly prominent role in investment protection matters, encompassing investment treaty arbitration or equivalent forms of dispute settlement, making it imperative for students from geographies beyond the region to be aware of the EU law in this knowledge domain.
This trajectory implies a rising demand for legal professionals possessing a profound understanding of international investment law. Entities engaged in international investment and trade, spanning law firms, government agencies, financial institutions, corporations, and non- governmental organizations (NGOs), will seek professionals with specialized knowledge – a demand that this pioneering programme is strategically positioned to address.
This course shall do much more than familiarize students with the essentials and provide them with a platform from building their network. They shall have the opportunity for comprehensive learning in the subject, and career related insights from renowned faculty and practitioners.
