Risk and reward: legal and valuation issues in investor-State disputes concerning early-stage projects
5 Jun
16:00 - 17:30
Many investor-State disputes concern early-stage projects. An investor invests in a long-term project, which is capital intensive and with cashflow and profits far in the horizon. But, alleged State action brings an end to the project at an early stage. How should investor-State tribunals deal with the legal and valuation questions that such a scenario raises? Join Hogan Lovells and FTI Consulting to consider the legal and valuation questions that are being considered by tribunals. For example, is an early-stage investment an “investment”? Will a focus on sunk costs underestimate an investment’s value, and deprive an investor of full reparation? Or will a focus on lost profits ignore or minimise the impact of the future risks that a project could face?
