Remy Gerbay Co-Authors a Kluwer Arbitration Blog Post on the Reform of International Investment Law

June 2023 - Remy Gerbay co-authored a blog post for the Kluwer Arbitration Blog titled “Reforming Substantive Investment Law: How Should We Do It?” with Simon Batifort and Belén Ibañez of Curtis Mallet. The post summarizes the key takeaways from a panel discussion held at the American Society of International Law’s 2023 annual meeting.
