Harshad Pathak

I am an Indian lawyer with commercial arbitration, investor-state dispute settlement, and international economic law as my core practice areas. As an independent Consultant with Mayer Brown Paris, I represent clients in investor-state and commercial arbitration proceedings; as a PhD researcher at the University of Geneva, I critically dissect the continuities between international investment law, ISDS, and colonialism. I also consult with policy organisations and governments on reform of investment treaties and national investment laws. To paraphrase Roberto Unger, I am the priest who lost his faith, but kept his job.
