In our Inside Emerging Markets video series, our specialists and clients discuss some of the challenges faced when completing complex projects, transactions and disputes.

In our latest video Partner Lisa Koch, based in Sydney, is joined by Special Counsel Jo Feldman, based in Perth, to discuss how investor state dispute settlements are being used as a way to manage political risk in emerging markets. Jo begins by outlining the specific political risks that investors will come across in emerging markets before going on to talk about what companies are doing and are able to do to protect themselves from these risks with particular emphasis on the use of investor state dispute settlements.
