Lunch talk: Cross-border dispute settlement through arbitration

The Harvard European Law Association would like to invite you to a presentation by professor Pasquale Pistone on new limits to arbitration for cross-border dispute settlement systems in the European Union and the US.

Cross-border dispute settlement through arbitration keeps growing at the global level, especially on bilateral investment and international tax matters. Yet, the recent Achmea judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union establishes legal constraints to ad hoc international arbitration in order to protect the due process of law. A comparison between the legal framework for arbitration in the EU and the US is of paramount importance for predicting the future use of this tool for settling cross-border disputes across the globe.

Prof. Pasquale Pistone is the Academic Chairman of IBFD and Jean Monnet ad personam Chair in European Tax Law and Policy at WU Vienna University of Economics and Business and Associate Professor of Tax Law at the University of Salerno in Italy.

Lunch will be provided.
