Three Curtis attorneys participated in the 11^th Annual Juris Conference on Investment Treaty Arbitration, which took place on April 25, 2017 in Washington, D.C. The conference, co-chaired by Washington, D.C.-based partner Borzu Sabahi, focused on technology, IP and investor-state arbitration. Washington, D.C. partner Justin Jacinto also participated in the conference as a speaker in a panel discussion entitled “Remedies in IP Investment Arbitration,” and New York associate Arianna Sanchez presented a paper on the same topic, which she co-authored with Washington, D.C. associate Carlos Guzman.

Earlier in April, transcripts from the 2016 conference were published in the 10^th volume of Investment Treaty Arbitration and International Law, which included contributions from Partners Benard V. Preziosi Jr., Borzu Sabahi and Associate Marat Umerov. Chapter 13 of the book includes a transcript of Mr. Preziosi’s panel, “Damages in investment arbitration – a revolutionary remedy or reward for rich corporations at the expense of the world’s poor?‎ A fundamental examination of Chorzow’s children.” Mr. Sabahi’s panel, “10 years of abusive round pegs in square holes or a system of already moving in the right direction,” is recorded in Chapter 6 of the book. Mr. Umerov’s contribution appears in Chapter 5, and is entitled “Problems of ‘Investment,’ and ‘Investor’ Notions in Investor State Dispute Settlement: Reflections and Outlook.” To view the book, click here.
