Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution Methods

Arbitration emerges as the natural mechanism to solve most of the disputes that arise over the course of commercial transactions, since it facilitates that they be heard by subject-matter specialists, it substantially cuts down on the time required to reach a decision, it encourages the use of technologies, and it enables adapting to the circumstances of the specific dispute. This is also the case with other mechanisms that may be used even prior to arbitration, such as mediation, settlements, direct arrangements, and dispute boards. We also provide consultancy on the structuring of protection mechanisms for foreign investment, in accordance with investment treaties and Central American integration treaties.
