"Investment Arbitration 2.0?"

The Centre for Commercial Law Studies is proud to sponsor the Annual Conference of the European Federation for Investment Law and Arbitration (EFILA).

The Conference will bring together world-class dispute resolution practitioners and prominent arbitration experts to discuss the challenges and opportunities of investment arbitration, including the new features of investment protection chapters included in recently concluded or currently negotiated EU International Investment Agreements, like CETA or TTIP. In particular, the speakers will discuss pros and cons of international arbitration, the rule of law, including the complex issues such as transparency, right to regulate, protection of property rights and democratic deficits.
