Join us for an evening of discussion and debate, followed by networking drinks and hors d’oeuvres. The evening is aimed at more junior practitioners but all are welcome to attend. We hope that you will be able to join us for what we are sure will be a very lively and enjoyable evening.

The event will include two panel discussions, the first addressing the future of investment treaties in the United States, and the second addressing the treatment of arbitration agreements and awards by U.S. courts.  Practitioners and professors will discuss topics including NAFTA, the U.S-China relationship, the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards, and current areas of disagreement on arbitration issues between federal courts.
