Emerging unscathed: protecting your investment abroad

Emerging markets often present highly attractive growth and investment opportunities, benefiting both investors and host countries. However, disruptions to foreign investments—such as expropriation and/or unfair or arbitrary treatment—can be more common in emerging markets with less developed political and legal systems. It is therefore essential for businesses to understand their rights and options to enhance protection and prevent or mitigate such risks.

Join us on 11 February 2025 to hear from our leading legal experts, as well as speakers from the partnership and partnership and private sector of Norad. We will provide insights into the international framework governing investment protection, explore relevant case law, and discuss practical tools to increase the flow of investments from Norway into Africa, Latin America, and Asia.
