NYU Investment Law Forum to discuss contract claims and umbrella clauses

The next in an ongoing series of public seminars at New York University Law School will examine the perennially fractious debate over the operation of so-called umbrella clauses – and the extent to which treaty provisions which require a state to observe all obligations with respect to investments (or some other formulation) will mean that breaches of contract may be elevated to breaches of an investment treaty.

The event will take place on Monday April 19th. To RSVP please email: iilj@exchange.law.nyu.edu
