The Case You Still Think About – Lessons from Career Defining International and Sovereign Disputes

4 Jun 11:30 - 13:00

Arbitration-related Litigation, Cross-border Disputes, Investor State Disputes, Public International Law

The Case You Still Think About brings together leading lawyers, arbitrators and diplomats to reflect on the international and sovereign disputes that shaped their careers—and still linger in their minds. Through candid, first‑hand accounts of high‑stakes matters involving states, state entities and cross‑border complexity, the discussion focus on the moments of judgment, strategy and diplomacy that mattered most when the pressure was highest.

Drawing on experience from courtrooms, arbitral tribunals and the heart of government, speakers will explore what these cases demanded of them professionally and personally: what proved decisive, what they would approach differently now, and what these disputes reveal about advocacy, institutions and decision‑making at the highest level.

The session offers a rare opportunity to hear how landmark cases are experienced by those closest to them—and the lessons carried forward long after the case is over.
