Understanding Regular and Enhanced Profiles

Use this to familiarize yourself with the difference between regular and enhanced profiles, and if you are a person or organization whose data appears in ISLG’s database, learn how to enhance your profile.

Understanding Profiles

ISLG is a platform that allows you to conduct comprehensive research for investment treaty law. Throughout the research process in the application, you will notice that people and organizations related to disputes are clickable, and are also available to be searched for directly when browsing for People or Organizations within ISLG Reports. These people and organizations are available because they have been involved in disputes listed in the Dispute & Dispute Document Library. When you access a specific person or organization page, you will be able to see key information about them and generate reports regarding their participation in disputes. 

By showcasing profiles in this way, you will be able to understand the complete context relating to that person’s or organization’s experience. For people, you will be able to see the past roles they had, relationships with fellow participants, and results related to challenges, jurisdiction, merits, damages & interest and costs. This will enable you to quickly identify possible conflicts of interest and identify how specific issues are considered and dealt with by tribunals when they are a participant in a dispute. For organizations, you will be able to examine how law firms, government ministries and non-disputing parties are associated with disputes and what their track records have been. 

Difference between Basic and Enhanced Profiles

When you access a basic person or organization profile page you will be able to see the basic information about them: basic profile details and reports related to them.
