Protecting Foreign Investment After Brexit

This seminar, set up in collaboration with Sir Alan Dashwood and Dechert LLP, will focus on investment protections after Brexit. Bringing together leading authorities in EU law and arbitration practitioners, we will address the impact of Brexit on intra-EU disputes and the investment protection regime governing EU investments in the UK and UK investments abroad. Among the issues, we will debate:

• The major economic and political risks to investors in the UK and to UK investors abroad.
• Potential recourses for investors against the UK based on possible regulatory changes implemented as a result of Brexit.
• The UK’s relationship with the EU after Brexit
• The future of investment protection in the EU
• Organising investor protection in the UK and for UK investors abroad in the post-exit world.
