ADR in Latin America
With alternative dispute resolution mechanisms growing in popularity across Latin America, GC asks how in-house counsel expect corporate conflicts to evolve.
The belief that strategy is critical to dispute resolution is one of the few things that businesses across Latin America have in common. Everything else, from an organization’s appetite for conflict, to its preferred method and forum are all up for grabs.
Even on the question of where responsibility for resolving a dispute sits within an organization, GCs are divided: just 61% of respondents to our survey said that disputes were the responsibility of the general legal team, with others saying responsibility should fall either to a dedicated disputes attorney/team (25%), to external counsel (11%).
