Speaking Engagement

Christina Hioureas to speak at 26th Annual International Bar Association Arbitration Day

April 04, 2025

Christina Hioureas will be speaking on a panel titled “Where will future disputes involving States be heard?” during the 26th Annual International Bar Association Arbitration Day.

Where are disputes involving states (or state-owned entities) headed? With the chill of investor-state arbitration in certain jurisdictions, private companies and states alike are revisiting their dispute resolution options. What is the best forum for resolving such disputes? Will the new generation of investment treaties continue to govern such disputes or will commercial arbitrations arising out of state contracts or even standing international commercial courts lure away some of them? This panel will consider the likely future landscape.
