2nd webinar : Jurisdiction over Tax-Related Disputes in Investment Arbitration - 11 November 2021, 14.00 – 16.00 CET Zoom Online
Over the last years, investment arbitration as a means to solve tax-related disputes has gained increased attention. The recent awards rendered by tribunals under the auspices of the Permanent Court of Arbitration in Vodafone v. India and Cairn Energy v. India have underscored this trend.
In light of the growing importance of the topic, the University of Lausanne is pleased to continue its inaugural webinar series on “The Role of Investment Arbitration in Tax Disputes” with its second session on 11 November 2021, 14.00 – 16.00 CET.
Bringing together leading professionals and academics from both the investment law and tax law world, this webinar series aims at providing a neutral forum to discuss the most relevant and recent strategic, policy, procedural and substantive issues involving international investment arbitration and tax disputes as well as ongoing reforms in this area.
The second webinar of the series will address jurisdiction over tax-related disputes in investment arbitration, arbitral jurisprudence in relation to tax carve-out clauses and future policy trends. In particular, the taxation article of Canada’s 2021 Model Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA) will be introduced. A panel of experienced tax and investment lawyers will comment on and discuss the issues raised in the three presentations.
