Investment Disputes & Arbitration
Investor-State Dispute Settlement, Investment Treaty Arbitration, And Enforcement, Where Foreign Investment Meets State Power In Pakistan.
Where Regulation Becomes A Dispute
Modern investment disputes increasingly originate not in a breached contract but in a regulatory act: a screening decision, a sanction, a change to strategic-sector rules. CEDI tracks the deal from investment treaty arbitration to award enforcement, anchored by Pakistan's own record, from Reko Diq to Karkey.
This area brings international and domestic arbitration practitioners, corporate disputes counsel, and institutional voices to the same table, a room Pakistan's arbitration community currently lacks.
Pakistan Arbitration & Investment Day
A half-day convening co-located with PFIG 27, sharing its venue and international faculty. Senior partners, corporate GCs carrying live disputes, and institutional voices, in two working sessions run to the triangular-room standard.
