The last several years, even months, have seen radical changes in commercial arbitration in almost every Latin American jurisdiction. International Arbitration in Latin America is a first of its kind publication that provides the lawyer, arbitrator and business person with a thorough overview of the current status of international arbitration in the region.

Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer's Nigel Blackaby, Clifford Chance's David Lindsey and Argentine lawyer Alessandro Spinillo have joined with others in the field of arbitration in Latin America to compile the first comprehensive review of commercial arbitration in major Latin American jurisdictions as well as the notable developments on the use of arbitration mechanisms contained in bilateral and multilateral investments treaties and free trade agreements. The book provides not only a detailed analysis of the law, but also insight from local practitioners about the culture of arbitration and how the law is applied.
