Their proper interpretation requires proven practical experience, as well as a thorough analysis of documentary and expert evidence, which makes arbitration a particularly suitable framework for this type of litigation.<\/p>\n<p>In this context, the creation of the Ibero-American Arbitration Group (IAG) by the international firm CMS strengthens an already consolidated and well-recognized arbitration practice in the region, characterized by its strategic approach, sector-specific expertise, and its ability to coordinate teams across multiple jurisdictions.<\/p>\n<p>The IAG is led by Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Roj\u00ed, partner at CMS Spain, and Rodrigo Campero, partner at CMS Chile, and brings together specialists from CMS offices across Ibero-America. In Peru, the group includes the participation of CMS Grau partners Luis Alberto Li\u00f1\u00e1n and Karina Urquizo, who represent the firm in this regional initiative.<\/p>\n<p>The team advises on all stages of arbitration, from drafting and negotiating arbitration agreements to conducting domestic and international proceedings, appearing before courts in support of arbitration, and the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards. Likewise, its professionals act both as counsel and arbitrators, providing a comprehensive and practical perspective on dispute resolution.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main pillars of the practice is its sector-specific focus, with recurring experience in disputes related to sectors such as energy, infrastructure, construction and engineering, banking and financial services, insurance, telecommunications, technology, healthcare and life sciences, real estate and tourism, among others. This specialization allows the team to understand not only the applicable regulatory framework, but also the operational and strategic challenges specific to each industry.<\/p>\n<p>The Ibero-American Arbitration Group also promotes close collaboration between CMS offices in Europe and Latin America, strengthening the firm\u2019s ability to provide integrated advisory services in international arbitration and complex cross-border disputes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>END<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information about CMS, visit <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cms.law\/es\/per\/\"><strong>https:\/\/cms.law\/es\/per\/<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>CMS Grau is a full-service firm with an international reach.
