About the Book:
Arbitration Law and Practice in Latin America provides the information needed by attorneys whose work may be affected by arbitration in 11 Latin American countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama and Venezuela

The book is organized by country into six parts (parts A through F). Part A provides a brief introduction to Arbitration law in each country, the international conventions to which the country is party and the names of each country's Arbitration institutions. Part B contains the legislation relating to arbitral practice in both their original language and expert legal translation into English. Parts C and D take the reader beyond the law to a discussion of matters such as the selection of arbitrators, the arbitration process, judicial supervision and enforcement of arbitral awards as well as insights into arbitral practice by practitioners in the particular country. Judicial decisions interpreting arbitration law and a Bibliography are contained in Parts E and F respectively.

Following this material appears a Roster of Arbitrators of over 200 arbitrators, with their experience and contact information, who are available for your arbitration needs.

Future updates will add additional countries as well as material being prepared at the time of publication.
