Event | 04.30.09, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC

Investment treaty arbitration remains one of the most dynamic and growing areas of international arbitration. The third annual conference continues the tradition of focusing on four of the most pressing issues before counsel – by establishing a dialogue between some of the brightest new stars in the field and some of its most seasoned practitioners. Eight up-and-comers are preparing papers on four of the most controversial and important issues in international investment law today. On April 30th our young authors will pair up to defend their positions before a panel of arbitrators and arbitration specialists.

Ian Laird is the Co-Chair of the conference. Alex de Gramont is a moderator and Kassi Tallent is a participating author. Baiju Vasani and Marguerite Walter will also attend this event.

Crowell & Moring is a sponsor.

"The Tide is High: New Guidance on Sea-Level Rise," The Bar Association of San Francisco

Jon Welner will be interviewing Larry Goldzband, the Executive Director of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), on the Commission’s new plan to prepare the SF Bay Area for sea-level rise. BCDC is the agency responsible for permitting all development on the shoreline of San Francisco Bay. On December 5, 2024, the BCDC adopted the Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan (RSAP). The RSAP is a region-wide plan for the San Francisco Bay shoreline that guides the creation of coordinated, locally planned sea level rise adaptation actions that work together to achieve a regional One Bay Vision. This includes BCDC’s guidelines for how local governments must meet the requirements of SB 272, a new State mandate that requires all local governments along the shoreline to prepare a Subregional Shoreline Adaptation Plan by 2034.
