The CLA Arbitration Week, sponsored by Vouga Abogados and supported by the participation of its associates in the conferences and activities, was held in Asunción from May 27 to 31. The main event, the Latin American Arbitration Conference, has been held annually for 11 years and was held this year in Paraguay between May 30 and 31, with the presence of the world's leading arbitration experts.

This edition was attended by icons of international commercial arbitration such as João Bosco Lee (Curitiba), Roque Caivano (Buenos Aires) and Paul Arrighi (Montevideo) and European experts such as Yves Derains (Paris) and Gary Born (London). The topics addressed ranged from party arbitrators, the connection between international arbitration and private international law, the impact of technology on arbitration, among others.

The inaugural conference, entitled “The Past, Present and Future of International Arbitration” and presented by the famed Gary Born - widely recognized as the world's leading authority on international commercial arbitration and international litigation - was moderated by our associate Eusebio López.

Likewise, the first panel of the day, dedicated to young professionals who stand out in the area of arbitration -CLA under 40- and which presented a procedural negotiation simulation, was moderated by our associate Georg Birbaumer Vera.
