Latin American Summit

JAMS is pleased to sponsor the Latin American Summit hosted by the New York City Bar on June 10–11, 2026. We look forward to a dynamic program, including a panel featuring JAMS neutral Hon. Ariel E. Belen (Ret.), FCIArb, FCollArb who will speak on “Litigation Risk and Enforcement Across the Americas” on June 11.

The New York City Bar Latin America Summit convenes policymakers, industry leaders, financial institutions, and practitioners to assess where these forces are converging—and how strategic decisions must adapt. Throughout the program, macroeconomic and geopolitical analysis is paired with a practical lens on risk: enforcement trends, compliance expectations, dispute resolution mechanisms, and institutional stability. In an environment where legal exposure and regulatory scrutiny increasingly shape capital deployment and corporate strategy, risk is no longer peripheral to growth—it is integral to it.
