Ian A. Laird is chair of the firm's International Dispute Resolution Group and an adjunct professor at Columbia University School of Law and Georgetown University Law Center. He represents a range of clients in international arbitration proceedings involving disputes between corporations and foreign sovereign governments. For over 20 years, Ian has counseled parties in investment arbitrations under the provisions of NAFTA, CAFTA-DR, the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT), and other international investment agreements, typically applying the arbitration rules of ICSID or UNCITRAL. In 2018, Ian was named to the National Law Journal’s "ADR Champions" list.
With extensive experience representing Fortune 500 clients, Ian advises corporations on geopolitical concerns when their investments face challenges overseas. He has worked extensively with clients involving issues in the energy and natural resources sector – such as power generation, oil and gas, and mining. As a former chief of staff to a Canadian cabinet minister and a senior political aide to the Ontario Minister of Energy, Ian has run political campaigns and understands the intimate workings of government and politics, as well as their impact on industry.
Ian's experience includes working on the earliest NAFTA investor-state arbitrations involving cases against each of the three NAFTA state parties, and most recently has handled high profile gold and uranium mining arbitrations. He is currently counsel on numerous international arbitrations and disputes, most recently involving Egypt, Kuwait, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Lithuania, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Turkey.
Ian serves as co-director of the International Investment Law Center (International Law Institute) and is currently an observer delegate to the UNCITRAL Working Group III deliberations on the reform of investment arbitration on behalf of the ILI. He has co-edited or co-authored 17 books, including the book series Investment Treaty Arbitration and International Law (volume 11 was recently published by Juris Publishing). He is co-author (with Kabir Duggal and Frederic Sourgens) of Evidence in International Investment Law (OUP, 2018). Ian is the co-founder, chair of the Editorial Advisory Board, and former editor-in-chief of InvestmentClaims.com (published by OUP), a leading resource in the field of investment arbitration.
