Brattle Consultants Author Chapter on the Determination of Financial Interest Rates in Investment Arbitration
Published in Lexology In-Depth: Investment Treaty Arbitration – Edition 10
Brattle consultants recently authored a chapter for Lexology In-Depth: Investment Treaty Arbitration – Edition 10 exploring the different methods to determine financial interest rates in investment arbitration.
In the chapter, the authors discuss relevant economic principles that govern the determination of interest in investment arbitration and review arbitral tribunals’ choices in the past. Given the impact that interest can have on damages, the rate selected determines whether the compensation paid is economically fair to both claimants and respondents. It also shapes the incentives for parties to arbitrate efficiently and to comply with awards in a timely manner.
The chapter, “The Determination of Financial Interest Rates in Investment Arbitration,” was authored by Principal Darrell Chodorow and Senior Associate Bennet Berger.
