Join leading experts as we explore the growing role of mediation in resolving complex investor-state disputes: how does the process work, what are the pros and cons, and what does the future hold?

Topics to be explored include:
• The fundamentals of a mediation process
• The advantages of mediation in the ISDS context
• Obstacles and challenges, including balancing transparency v. confidentiality and addressing issues of authority
• Best practice in mediator selection (and the increasing trend for co-mediation)
• The political, legislative and institutional landscape (including the Singapore Convention on Mediation)
• Practical insights from counsel, mediators and clients on optimizing mediation for investment disputes

Whether you are an investor representative, host state representative, legal counsel, or dispute resolution professional, this panel will provide valuable insights into making mediation a more effective tool in ISDS. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with thought leaders shaping the future of investor-state mediation.
