Michał J. Swarabowicz graduated with a PhD in international law from the Graduate Institute in 2021. In his thesis, Dr. Swarabowicz analyzed the doctrinal moves which had enabled the emergence of a special regime of investment protection within international law. 

Before the PhD, Dr. Swarabowicz completed the LLM in International Dispute Settlement (MIDS) in 2014, a master degree in Global Business Law and Governance (2011-12) - a joint program between Columbia Law School, Sorbonne University, and Sciences Po Paris - and the dual bachelor degree in economics awarded by the Sciences Po Paris and by the Warsaw School of Economics in 2010. He worked with the Shearman & Sterling’s arbitration practice in Paris, the Polish ministry of environment, and at the Centre for Eastern Studies, a government-affiliated think tank focusing on Russia and Eurasia.
