Each year a growing number of complex and distinctive cases are filed in diverse forums which specialize in international investment arbitration. Until now, however, no single manual has guided practitioners through the many complexities involved in international investment arbitration proceedings - from whether and how to initiate arbitral proceedings to the enforcement of the award and available post-award remedies. Litigating International Investment Disputes: A Practitioner’s Guide fills this lacuna by serving as a comprehensive resource for those who are new to international investment arbitration, as well as for the seasoned practitioners.
The diverse group of contributors are highly experienced experts and practitioners, who have acted as counsel and arbitrators, and served in institutions which routinely administer international investment arbitration proceedings.
Dr. Chiara Giorgetti is an Assistant Professor of Law at Richmond University School of Law, where she focuses on international arbitration and international courts and tribunals. Prior to joining academia full time, she practiced international investment arbitration and public international law with White & Case, LLP in Washington D.C. and Lalive in Geneva. Giorgetti clerked at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, and is the author of two books and several articles and book chapters. Professor Giorgetti holds an LLM and JSD from Yale Law School and is a graduate of Bologna University and the London School of Economics.
