Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and the American Society of International Law invite you to join us for the next installment of our Young Arbitrator Debate Series – co-sponsored by the ASIL Howard M. Holtzmann Research Center for the Study of International Arbitration and Conciliation. The debate will be held off-the-record and will be followed by a reception sponsored by Freshfields.

Motion:

“This house believes that investor-state dispute settlement supports, rather than impedes, the fight against climate change.”
