Stewarts & Gatehouse Chambers | 1 Lady Hale Gate, Gray’s Inn, London, WC1X 8BS

Join us during London International Disputes week to discuss London’s position as a seat for Latin America related arbitrations is shifting under the combined force of legislative modernisation, predictable court supervision, and a mature funding ecosystem.

This interactive panel discussion will consider how the Arbitration Act 2025 and recent Supreme Court guidance have impacted London’s appeal, while addressing common user concerns around governing law, bias, speed, cost and funding enforceability. The panel will also explore current economic and regulatory triggers across key Latin American jurisdictions, and how funding dynamics are increasingly shaping seat selection.
