ICLG - Investor-State Arbitration 2024 2024

Foley Hoag LLP is privileged to collaborate with Global Legal Group in the preparation of the 2024 edition of ICLG - Investor-State Arbitration.
The investor-State panorama remains one that is complex. While global macroeconomic factors continue to give rise to growth in investor-State arbitrations, many States are taking steps to reduce their exposure to investment treaty disputes by withdrawing from investment treaties, or concluding treaties with no or limited investor-State dispute mechanisms. At the same time, legislative reform and judicial decisions around the world reflect a general willingness to enforce international arbitration awards - except when the awards concern intra-European ("EU") disputes, where the approach of courts varies significantly.
All of this makes it critical to maintain an accurate record of relevant developments. The 2024 edition of this Guide does so by providing the latest investor-State arbitration information for various jurisdictions around the world, addressing: investment treaty participation; case trends; the relationship between international tribunals and domestic courts; recognition; enforcement; and third-party funding, amongst other important topics. The Guide also includes expert analyses that explore the rise of environmental provisions in investment treaties, and investigate the impact of EU law on investment arbitration, intra-EU bilateral investment treaties and the Energy Charter Treaty.
We thank each of the authors who have generously shared their time and expertise, and extend our congratulations to the Global Legal Group team for the successful development of yet another global Guide.
