INVESTMENT TREATY ARBITRATION

Fox Mandal has an extensive investment treaty arbitration experience that requires a comprehensive understanding of the ICSID Convention, Bilateral Investment Treaties and other Multi-lateral treaties. It was given such a backdrop that Fox Mandal advised the Government of India in relation to its dispute with the investors in the Dabhol Power Project set up in the State of Maharashtra in western India. The arbitration, which was conducted under the UNCITRAL Rules, with the seat of arbitration in London, was a front runner in the arena of dispute resolution across the globe. Fox Mandal not only represented the Government of India in the arbitration proceedings but also advised in the restructuring of the project and the eventual settlement and the final resolution of the dispute in relation to the project. This was the first of a several billion dollar claim against Government of India brought under a Bilateral Investment Treaty. Fox Mandal is the first and only firm in India, which has the requisite expertise to handle bilateral investment treaty (BIT) disputes.
