When it comes to enforcing ICSID awards in the US, timing is everything. But which clock is ticking? The D.C. Circuit has just rendered a decision in Titan Consortium 1 v. Argentine Republic (July 21, 2026), putting an end to a recurring debate in investment treaty enforcement: what is

While much of Europe is winding down for August, this case is a reminder that complex disputes don't take a break — not even after five years. Imagine winning a $111 million legal fight — twice, in arbitration — and still not getting your day in court five years later. That&
