Miami is firmly established as one of the world’s leading centers for international arbitration and the natural gateway for multinationals and regional headquarters managing cross-border disputes throughout Latin America. This panel of senior in-house counsel will share how companies evaluate and mitigate dispute risks in the region, and why international arbitration remains the preferred tool when conflicts escalate. Drawing on recent experiences, panelists will discuss trends in Latin American arbitration, practical lessons from high-stakes cases, and what in-house teams based in Miami and beyond value most in outside counsel and arbitral institutions under pressure.
