Lars Markert spoke at the “7th Annual USC-JAMS Arbitration Symposium – Arbitration in the Pacific Rim” on “Panel Discussion 3: Disputes in the Life Sciences,” an event that is part of California Arbitration Week, held in Los Angeles on March 16, 2023. He discussed how the intricate mix of certain legal practices, scientific issues and regulatory strictures create a complex disputes matrix that lends itself well to resolution by arbitration.
Lars’ practice is focused on commercial and investment arbitration. He has particular expertise in contentious proceedings involving post-M&A, commercial, manufacturing, construction, and distribution matters, in areas such as life sciences, automotive, and energy. Lars also deals with cases involving governments, and has advised foreign investors and sovereign states on issues of foreign direct investment and public international law, including related negotiations and investor-state disputes. He has been involved in more than 50 international arbitrations as counsel and arbitrator under the arbitration rules of institutions such as the ICC, DIS, SAC, NAI, ICDR, KCAB, JCAA, SIAC, and ICSID, as well as under the UNCITRAL Rules.
