Commercial Arbitration
We represent companies, investors and state-owned entities in complex domestic and international commercial arbitrations conducted under leading institutional and ad hoc rules. Our practice combines procedural strategy, industry-specific expertise and a deep understanding of arbitral dynamics across jurisdictions and legal systems. We act in arbitrations seated in Latin America, the United States and Europe, advising clients across the entire lifecycle of the dispute — from pre-arbitral strategy and contract analysis through the conduct of proceedings and enforcement of awards.
Representation in domestic and international commercial arbitrations under the rules of the ICC, AAA/ICDR, LCIA, CAM, UNCITRAL and other institutional and ad hoc frameworks. We advise on rule selection, seat strategy, arbitrator appointment and challenge, procedural timetabling and the management of complex multi-party and multi-contract arbitrations. Our team is familiar with the procedural culture and arbitral dynamics of each institutional framework and adapts strategy accordingly.
Representation in high-value commercial arbitrations arising from complex industries, including mining, construction, infrastructure, petrochemical, oil and gas, energy and industrial projects. We advise on the full range of industry-specific legal issues — including delay and disruption claims, change orders, force majeure, offtake and supply disputes, joint operating agreements and long-term concession arrangements — and coordinate with technical and industry experts throughout the proceedings.
Strategic representation in arbitrations governed by both civil-law and common-law procedural frameworks, including document production under IBA Rules, witness preparation, cross-examination strategy and the management of expert evidence. We advise clients on the practical procedural differences across legal systems and design hearing strategies that are effective before arbitral tribunals of varying legal backgrounds.
Representation in arbitrations arising from joint venture agreements, shareholders' arrangements, partnership structures and long-term commercial contracts. We advise on contractual interpretation disputes, breach and termination claims, valuation methodology disagreements and the enforcement of economic and governance rights in complex multi-party commercial relationships.
Early-stage dispute assessment, pre-arbitral strategy and negotiation, including analysis of arbitration clauses, governing law provisions and jurisdictional exposure. We advise on the preservation of claims and evidence, the strategic timing of arbitration filings and the pursuit of interim and emergency measures — including injunctions, asset freezes and preservation orders — before arbitral tribunals and domestic courts.
Representation in proceedings for the recognition, enforcement and challenge of domestic and international arbitral awards before domestic courts in the United States, Argentina and other jurisdictions. We advise on grounds for annulment and enforcement defenses under the New York Convention, the Panama Convention and applicable domestic arbitration statutes, and design integrated enforcement strategies for awards involving assets across multiple jurisdictions.
Selection, briefing and coordination of technical, financial and industry experts across disciplines, including quantum experts, delay analysts, engineering specialists and valuation professionals. We also manage the coordination of co-counsel and local counsel across jurisdictions, acting as lead strategic counsel to ensure procedural coherence, consistent legal positioning and integrated decision-making throughout the arbitration.
