Luke Sobota will speak on a panel “Switzerland, the USA and the EU: Diverging Paths in Investment Arbitration” organized by the Georgetown International Arbitration Society (GIAS) and hosted by the Embassy of Switzerland.
The panel will explore the future of arbitration from a transatlantic perspective, focusing on the roles of Switzerland and the USA. It will address the EU’s growing skepticism, marked by the European Court of Justice’s decision against enforcing intra-EU arbitration awards, challenging arbitration’s role in resolving disputes.
Luke will speak alongside Paul Levine (BakerHostetler), and Anya George (Schellenberg Wittmer). The panel will be moderated by Caroline Lauk. The event will take place on Thursday, February 20, 2025, at 5:30 pm at the Embassy of Switzerland [2900 Cathedral Ave NW].
