Agustín G. Sanz will speak on a panel titled “Treaty vs. Contract Claims: The Art of the Choice” at an event organized by Young ICCA.
The session will examine the coexistence of contract and treaty claims in investment arbitration, exploring how a single dispute may give rise to both contractual claims under commercial arbitration and allegations of breaches of treaty protections under international investment law.
The panel will take place on Monday, 12 April 2026, in Madrid as part of the Young ICCA programme.
