Professional and research interests

I have more than two decades of teaching, public speaking, research, and legal practice experience. 

My professional and academic interests focus on international arbitration and transnational 

litigation, the intersection between dispute resolution and new technologies, the fight against 

corruption, legal and institutional reform, private ordering, the globalization of the legal 

professions, and legal education. In general, my academic work pays special attention to the 

impact of culture, social norms, economic and political forces in the genesis and operation of the 

law. My professional work is mostly centered on international arbitration, transnational litigation,

and the fight against corruption. I maintain a professional and academic interest on Latin America,
