Visiting Stay: June 2022

James is joining CILG as a Visiting Scholar from the University of Edinburgh, where he is completing his Master's in International Law.  Specifically, James focuses on international investment law, having worked as an International Associate in the investor-state arbitration team of Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle LLP in Mexico City (a role he continues in a consultancy capacity from the UK).  Prior to this, James practised as a solicitor at Farrer & Co LLP in London after completing his Bachelor's degree in Law at the University of Bristol.  James is also involved with the International Institute of Environment and Development (IIED) and its participation in the UNCITRAL Working Group III sessions on reforming the investor-state dispute settlement framework.
