About this event
The interplay between M&A and treaty protection remains underexplored. This talk will examine how investors structure cross-border M&A to access investment treaty protection; the nature of disputes that emerge around and after these transactions; the doctrinal routes by which such disputes crystallise into investment claims; and the practical realities of enforcement, including impact of Operafund v Spain on the assignment of awards, and alternative routes to monetisation.
