It is a privilege to participate in the ASIL Annual Conference. My hope in doing so is to learn from the other panelists, and to provide a perspective that does not appear to be well represented in ASIL discussions—that of the corporate investor. The practical realities seen from that perspective are often missing from academic presentations, and are not fully covered by presenters from the private bar who represent investors. When ASIL convenes panels to discuss international law topics that involve business, including a corporate participant may add value to the discussion.
