Open de Arbitraje Lima 2025

We are proud to be a platinum sponsor and participant in this year’s Open de Arbitrage Lima 2025.

The Open de Arbitraje is a leading international event for professionals in commercial and investment arbitration. Each year, it brings together law firms, in-house counsel, arbitrators, technical experts, and industry leaders in a setting that provides high-quality content and meaningful networking opportunities.

After establishing itself in Madrid as a global hub for arbitration over two days annually, the Open is expanding its reach in 2025 with a special edition in Lima, Peru.

Open de Arbitraje Lima 2025 will take place on 22–23 October at the iconic JW Marriott Hotel in Miraflores, and pays tribute to the legacy of the late Mario Vargas Llosa, placing literature and writing at the heart of the program. The event will explore the power of language as a tool for clarity, persuasion, and legal reasoning.

The Open continues to be a premier platform for forging strong connections among key players in international arbitration.
