Argentina is in hot pursuit of multiple audiences before the Supreme Court: two petitions for writs of certiorari filed by Argentina are pending in the NML v.

With so much action involving Argentina in the high court, there is the potential for confusion between these multiple proceedings, which we clarify in this alert.

The opinions and other papers relating to these cases, as well as our many prior client notes, are all available on our Argentine Sovereign Debt webpage: www.shearman.com/argentine-sovereign-debt.
