Oliver Armas spoke at the roundtable “Focus on Argentina and Latin America” on October 10 at the Forum on International Arbitration in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Panelists discussed the potential advantages and challenges in using ADR in Argentina and other Latin American countries and the factors instrumental in selecting a Latin American country as a seat for an international commercial arbitration. Other topics at the forum included applicable laws, the role of the judiciary, the arbitral process, the rules of evidence, enforcement of awards and arbitration clauses, existing jurisprudence and new trends and developments regarding the ADR landscape in Argentina and Latin America.
