Foreign Direct Investment
The proliferation in recent years of bilaterial and multilaterial investment treaties has afforded greater protection to individuals and companies involved in cross-border investment activities. Investors who have suffered discrimination by foreign governments or have otherwise lost the value of their investments due to wrongful treatment may have the right to bring an action before an international tribunal.
At Conway & Partners we have advised on a number of such claims, and acted as counsel in disputes arising out of the expropriation of assets by foreign governments. Our expertise as specialists in international dispute resolution means that we are able to provide practical and accurate guidance to those clients who are concerned about the actual or potential loss of their foreign assets. We also assist parties who are seeking to enter into potential investment opportunities by advising them on the structure which will provide the optimum legal protection.
