ICC YAAF is organising a series of events on disputes that arise in different industries in Latin America. This session will focus on the construction industry and the resolution of their disputes through arbitration and other dispute resolution methods.

In our first session of the series, we focused on the mining industry. In this second session, we will delve into the construction industry and the challenges of infrastructure projects in the current economic situation we are facing. 

Coming up: The following session will focus on the Energy Industry and will take place in Bolivia. More information here.

Who should attend?

The event is intended for young practitioners and in-house counsel in construction companies, as well as state representatives. 

Open to those aged 40 and under, YAAF provides opportunities for individuals to gain knowledge, develop their skills and understand ICC’s arbitral procedure and other dispute resolution services.

What is ICC YAAF?

At ICC, we believe that through training and mentorship, we can mould the next generation of leading international arbitration and ADR experts. Through the ICC Young Arbitration and ADR Forum (YAAF) network, we are able to better inform, connect and inspire young professionals with interests in dispute resolution and dispute avoidance. 

Throughout the world, ICC YAAF organises a number of educational and social events that allow young professionals to discover best practices, discuss topical issues, network and create meaningful connections with experienced practitioners.
