Description

The session, supported by the Regional Fora of the IBA and with expert speakers from different sectors and organisations, will be focused in helping lawyers — even those not practicing in international trade — understand their role and the opportunities arising for them and their clients in the public and private sectors, from the implementation of free trade agreements and new regional economic communities.

As part of this session, specific attention will be put also on explaining the current situation of hot topics in international trade, such as e-commerce, investment protection and investor-state disputes, and on the relevance of sunset clauses contained in recently negotiated free trade agreements (e.g., the USMCA case, among others).
