Afterwork with Schoenherr | Protecting Intra-EU investments against unlawful state interventions
📅30 October 2025 ⏰5:30 – 8:30 pm EET 📍Sense Rooftop Bar – Sofia, Tsar Osvoboditel Blvd. 16 🌐Event language: English
Legislative unpredictability, twists in politics and turns in national regulations can significantly impact investments. Numerous examples exist of State measures (including Bulgaria's) resulting in unfair, discriminatory or expropriatory actions. They raise a key question for business leaders: how can you protect your investment? Once shielded by intra-EU bilateral Investment Treaties, intra-EU investments no longer enjoy this security.
- What remedies do investors have to recover losses caused to their intra-EU projects by unlawful State intervention now that they can no longer call the State to task via investment arbitration?
- Which preventive actions can investors take to protect their business from risks arising from State measures that target cross-border EU investments?
- How can your intra-EU investments be (re)structured to this end?
Key speakers from our arbitration teams in Bulgaria and Austria will explore these and other topics at the event, while the firm's corporate reorganisations experts will be there to answer implementation-related questions.
Who should attend?
If you are a representative of a Bulgarian entrepreneurial company that also operates in other EU jurisdictions or plans to scale abroad, join us at this Schoenherr event. The topic is also relevant for top-level decisionmakers in multinational groups active in sectors such as energy, retail, financial services, telecommunications, biotech and manufacturing.
