Global publication Legal 500 recently released its rankings of firms and practitioners in international arbitration in Latin America. For the first time, Legal 500 noted that SILC is establishing a presence in the region, citing the hiring of Diego Gosis. This mention from Legal 500 builds on rankings by other notable publications, including Chambers, Who’s Who, and Super Lawyers.
During the fall months, SILC professionals will be speaking by invitation at numerous events in the region. Mauricio Gomm will speak at the annual ICDR event in Miami and the annual International Arbitration Days in Coimbra, Portugal. Quinn Smith will speak at the CBAr’s annual congress in Porto Alegre and the ICDR’s annual event in Bogotá. Diego Gosis will speak at ICC YAF events in Panama City and Washington D.C, the annual convention of the Instituto Peruano de Arbitraje in Arequipa, the annual ICDR event in Lima, the launching of the new ICC rules in Buenos Aires, and lecturing at McGill University in Montreal. All of the events relate to international dispute resolution, including topics touching on investment and commercial arbitration.
As covered in the Global Arbitration Review, Argentina won an award on jurisdiction in its treaty dispute with German carmaker Daimler. The victory is only one of many achieved by the team defending Argentina with Diego Gosis as a member of the counsel team. Click here for the article.
