Dispute Resolution

Investor-state Dispute Settlement (ISDS)

As economic globalization progresses, bilateral investment treaties (BITs), multilateral investment treaties (including the Energy Charter Treaty) and investment chapters of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs)/Economic Partnership Agreement (EPAs) are of significant importance as they provide for the protection of investors’ investments. If a host country violates an investment treaty, the investor may file an arbitration against the host country based on the investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) clause in the investment treaty. AMT has a team with extensive knowledge of international investment law and ISDS clauses. AMT provides strategic advice on the use of investment treaties and investment arbitrations for our clients.
