2024年2月23日下午，国际知名投资银行董事总经理、副总法律顾问、亚太区法务主管Akash Mohapatra莅临中银深圳，并举办座谈会进行交流与分享。

       在座谈中，Akash Mohapatra 以国际仲裁为主题，围绕国际投资争端解决中心 (International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes)与双边投资协定（Bilateral Investment Treaty)展开讲座，并以德意志银行与某石油公司的套期保值协议纠纷一案为例，揭示了国际仲裁的适用、仲裁程序与裁决的执行。本所谭岳奇律师、朱耀龙律师作为主讲人各自分享了处理国际仲裁案件的经验与案例，并就与会者提出的各项问题进行了深入探讨。谢兰军律师则针对目前国际投资形势提出问题，并就签署RCEP、中国与新加坡签署双边投资协定后的投资者机遇展开论述。实习律师林苏霞担任主持人、执业律师毛丹婷担任翻译参与了座谈会。

       Akash Mohapatra认为，国际投资争端解决中心作为一个国际仲裁机构，双边投资协定作为国家间签署的条约，在跨国投资者利益受到损害且寻求东道国救济受阻时能够提供及时的救济，有效的保护跨国投资者的利益，并在一定程度上解决投资者维权难、执行难的困境。

       本次座谈会的圆满举行，进一步加强了本所与外国律师的互动与专业交流，为青年律师在国际投资日益增长的背景下提供新的指引，有力提升了本所多元化争议解决的服务水平。
