NAFTA 3.0: The Future of ISDS in North America.

NAFTA 3.0: The Future of ISDS in North America. Moderator: Paul Levine (Partner, Baker Hostetler) Panelists: Aristeo López (Special Legal Consultant, Clark Hill) Dr. Todd Weiler (Independent Arbitrator) Lauren Mandell (Partner, Wilmer Hale) Kristen Young (Partner, Willkie Farr & Gallagher) The replacement of NAFTA with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) ignited hopes of a new era for North American trade and investment. Yet, these hopes were short lived. With sceptical voices against the USMCA arising from DC and an upcoming “joint review” looming in 2026, the future of investor-state dispute settlement in the region hangs in the balance. Will there be a "NAFTA 3.0"? And if so, will ISDS find a place at the table for additional reform, will it remain untouched, or will it be limited even further? As the parties reflect on two decades of investor-State arbitration under NAFTA, key lessons emerge: What has worked, what hasn’t and what changes might be needed to protect the States’ regulatory space and investors’ legitimate expectations? Is touching what remains of NAFTA, now under the current USMCA, on investor-State dispute resolution between the United States and Mexico, premature? This panel will bring together leading voices from across the region to debate the next chapter of North American investment protection. Expect insights, and a candid exploration of what “protection” really means in today’s geopolitical and economic climate. Join us to discuss whether ISDS can or should survive in the new trade and investment landscape.
