Clark Hill’s International Arbitration team advises and represents clients in investment disputes arising under international agreements such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
Our International Arbitration attorneys have acted as counsel in arbitrations under the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) in a variety of industries, including oil & gas, mining, construction, telecommunications, and banking.
We also provide legal advice in negotiating international agreements with investment provisions, such as the USMCA and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) (formerly known as Trans-Pacific Partnership), and arbitration rules in the United Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL).
The group will review and discuss a draft code of conduct for adjudicators in international investment disputes.
In 2017, UNCITRAL commended Working Group III (WGIII) to discuss and work on a possible reform of investor-State dispute settlement (ISDS). Although WGIII comprises 60 Member States, non-Member States and international organizations may attend sessions as observers and participate in the debates.
