Investment Protection in 2026: Safeguarding Deals amid Volatility

Investors in 2026 are evaluating opportunities in markets shaped by both familiar and emerging political and commercial risks.

Drawing on recent experience, particularly in Venezuela, our panelists will discuss how to structure investments, align stakeholder incentives, and use contractual, regulatory and treaty-based protections to strengthen project resilience.

Attendees will gain actionable approaches to identifying and managing political risk across the investment life cycle—from project selection and structuring through dispute resolution and enforcement.

• Identifying and assessing political risk in energy and infrastructure projects
• Structuring investments to align incentives
• Stabilization, renegotiation and arbitration clauses
• Managing regulatory, expropriation and currency risks
• The roles of political risk insurance and multilateral lenders
• Treaty protections, including BITs and multilateral frameworks
• Practical approaches to dispute avoidance and resolution

We hope you can join us for what promises to be an engaging and insightful discussion.
