Investment Protection & Fundamental Rights

Investment Protection & Fundamental Rights

One of our specialties is investment protection under fundamental rights law. Our firm has specialist expertise in advising foreign investors in international investment cases against sovereign states before domestic courts and in arbitration proceedings.

Fundamental rights apply not only to individuals but also to business entities. Often overlooked, human rights provisions in UN, EU, and EEA law as well as the European Human Rights Convention provide a strong complement to rights based on domestic rules as they take precedence over diverging national legislation.

We assist clients in establishing claims based on fundamental rights and enforcing them at both domestic and international levels, including before the European Court of Human Rights, the UN Human Rights Council, the European Court of Justice, and the EFTA Court.
