OPERATION 'WINDFALL'
Geography: North American Energy Corridor
A consortium of international renewable energy investors faced de facto expropriation when the host government abruptly altered grid dispatch protocols to favor state-owned legacy generation.
When the rules are rewritten, you don't call a lawyer. You call a strategist.
THE CHALLENGE
Traditional arbitration would take years, draining capital and resolve. The client needed immediate geopolitical leverage to force the administration back to the negotiating table before assets were seized.
SIC INTERVENTION
- Trade Treaty Leverage: We activated legislative channels to pressure trade representatives, framing the energy dispute as a direct violation of regional free trade agreements (USMCA provisions).
- Climate Narrative: We launched a targeted offensive in tier-1 global financial media, labeling the government's pivot as "Environmental Vandalism," directly threatening the sovereign credit rating and ESG investability.
- Investor Blockade: Coordinated a strategic "pause" on future Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) from major manufacturing stakeholders until legal certainty was restored.
THE OUTCOME
Facing mounting economic pressure, the host government suspended the discriminatory enforcement. The client retained full operating concessions and secured a favorable settlement framework without prolonged litigation.
