During this event, cosponsored by the South Florida, Houston, and Minneapolis-St. Paul ACS Lawyer Chapters, three international disputes lawyers will debate whether the international investment treaty system is currently accomplishing its mission of increasing foreign direct investment (FDI) and protecting investors.\n\nThey will also exchange ideas on how treaties can be drafted and renegotiated to advance progressive values, in areas including the environment, human rights, global health, and corporate social responsibility.\n\nThe panelists will also discuss how discourse amongst the international community and U.S. leadership on this issue has changed over time, highlighting the specific approaches articulated by the European Union, President Clinton, Senator Warren, Vice President Biden, President Obama, and President Trump.\n\nFeaturing:\n\nRobert Landicho, Senior Associate — International Dispute Resolution & Arbitration, Vinson & Elkins LLP; Member, ACS Houston Lawyer Chapter Board of Directors\nEstefanía San Juan, Associate — Litigation and International Arbitration Practice Groups, White & Case LLP\nQuinn Smith, Managing Partner, GST LLP\n\nModerated By:\n\nCatherine Bratic, Senior Associate, Hogan Lovells\n\nACS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
