Treaty protection: the ultimate tool to safeguard investments in Mexico

Overview & Audience

Mexico is going through a time of increasing regulatory change and governmental intervention. This trend has given rise to concern among international and Mexican investors alike. Some investors will be able to safeguard their rights and interests under the robust guarantees afforded by the 40+ international treaties concluded by Mexico for the protection of investments in the country.

Against this backdrop, in this webinar, Clyde & Co partners Vicente Bañuelos (Mexico City, Mexico), Alejandro García (London, UK) and Counsel Georg Scherpf (Hamburg, Germany) will discuss the following topics:

• Recent regulatory changes and governmental intervention in Mexico
• Investment treaties concluded by Mexico and their key protections
• Protected investors and circumstances in which Mexican investors can benefit from treaty protection
• Structuring investments to secure treaty protection
• Maximising the benefits afforded by investment treaties
• Investment treaty arbitration in practice
• The use of third-party funding to finance investment treaty arbitrations
