On April 22, Managing Director Daniel Flores and members of our International Arbitration group participated in this year’s Juris Investment Treaty Arbitration Conference, which addressed the complex issues raised by investor-state arbitration in the energy sector. Daniel Flores was a featured expert on a panel discussing the calculation of damages in energy sector disputes.
In June, Daniel Flores, Ettore Comi and Andrea Cardani will be presenters at the 4th Global Conference of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)’s Young Arbitrators Forum (YAF) in New York. At this dynamic forum, younger professionals learn from experienced practitioners about issues of interest in arbitration.
