ICC YAAF: Dispute Avoidance Boards (DABs) in Infrastructure Projects in Latin America (in Spanish)

The ICC YAAF event on Dispute Avoidance Boards (DABs) in Infrastructure Projects in Latin America aims to delve into the practical aspects of DABs as a mechanism for preventing disputes and maintaining contractual relationships in large-scale projects. This event will gather practitioners from across Latin America to share insights and experiences regarding the implementation of DABs in infrastructure and Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects. Participants will engage in discussions about real case experiences, identifying success factors and common challenges faced in the region. The event will also explore the relationship between DABs, arbitration, and litigation, analyzing whether these mechanisms operate in competition or complement each other. Special attention will be given to FIDIC-based contracts and the adaptation of contractual models to local contexts, highlighting emerging trends and practical drafting considerations. Through panels and networking opportunities, attendees will gain valuable knowledge on how to effectively utilize DABs to reduce costs, delays, and the escalation of disputes, ultimately enhancing the success of infrastructure projects in Latin America.
