I am a Master’s student seeking an experienced freelance writer to assist with writing my final thesis/research paper for a Master’s degree in Law. The topic is: “The Effectiveness of Investor-State Arbitration in Protecting Foreign Investments: The Case of Disputes Between Chinese Investors and Nigeria.”
Project goals:
Produce a comprehensive, well-structured, and academically rigorous thesis suitable for defense.
Provide in-depth legal analysis, accurate case study reporting, and coherent argumentation.
Demonstrate strong methodology, literature review, doctrinal and comparative analysis, and clear policy implications.
What I am looking for:
A seasoned legal writer with expertise in international investment law, investor-state arbitration (ISA), and related dispute settlement mechanisms.
Demonstrated track record in producing master’s/doctoral level theses or peer-reviewed papers in law.
Ability to conduct high-quality literature review (jurisprudence, arbitration rules, treaties (e.g., ICSID, UNCITRAL), and relevant Nigerian and Chinese law).
Proficiency in identifying and analyzing primary sources (arbitral awards, treaties, investment treaties, statutes) and secondary sources (scholarly articles, commentary, policy papers).
Strong methodological rigour: problem statement, research questions/hypotheses, theoretical framework, research design, data collection/analysis, and robust conclusions.
Excellent writing style in English with proper academic tone, citation accuracy, and flawless grammar.
Ethical research practices and strict adherence to academic integrity and plagiarism policies.
Ability to deliver a well-organized thesis with a clear flow of logic, coherent chapters, and strong defense-ready writing.

Availability to discuss progress, provide regular updates, and meet agreed deadlines.
Fluent/near-native English writing skills; attention to academic tone and clarity.
Knowledge of relevant arbitral institutions (ICSID, ICSID Convention, UNCITRAL Rules), relevant treaties (BITs/FTAs involving China and Nigeria), and Nigerian and Chinese comparative investment regulation.
Timeline and milestones (tentative): 1month from date of contract .
Notes:
I will provide access to any necessary sources, such as university guidelines, citation style preferences, and any supervisor’s prompts.
Originality and academic integrity are non-negotiable; I expect properly cited, plagiarism-free work.
Final deliverable should be fully polished, defense-ready, and formatted according to academic standards.
Perspective should be neutral, balancing Chinese investors and Nigerian government views.
