Product Description

The last few years, even months, have seen radical changes in commercial arbitration in almost every Latin American jurisdiction. International Arbitration in Latin America is a first of its kind publication that provides the lawyer, arbitrator, and businessperson with a thorough overview of the current status of international arbitration in the region.

Freshfields Bruckhans Deringer's Nigel Blackaby, Clifford Chance's David Lindsey, and Argentine lawyer Alessandro Spinillo have joined with others in the field of arbitration in Latin America to compile the first comprehensive review of commercial arbitration in major Latin American jurisdictions as well as notable developments in the use of arbitration mechanisms contained in bilateral and multilateral investments treaties and free trade agreements. The book provides not only a detailed analysis of the law, but also insight from local practitioners into the culture of arbitration and how the law is applied.

Features of the book include

  • a comprehensive and thorough overview of commercial arbitration in Latin America;
  • a detailed analysis of the law and insight from local practitioners from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela;
  • a brief look at the rules and peculiarities of the proposed Mercosur International Commercial Arbitration Agreements entered into by Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia, and Chile, whose eventual ratification and coming into force is contemplated;
  • an examination concerning the adoption of arbitration as a method of dispute resolution for investors against states under bilateral investment treaties, over 300 of which have now been signed in the region;
  • the text of the key sections of the international conventions to which reference is made (Panama Convention, NAFTA, Mercosur); and
  • it also describes the increasing use of alternative dispute resolution in Latin America and how it might be best used as a complement for arbitration proceedings, with an emphasis on complex projects where staged dispute resolution might be appropriate.

    Product Description

    Set up a corporation, skip the lawyer, save money!

    Incorporate Your Business lays out everything you need to know about corporate laws and regulations in your state, clearly explaining:

  • why and when to incorporate
  • what you need to know about corporate taxation
  • whether to elect S corporation tax status
  • how to incorporate an existing business

    Plus, you can save thousands of dollars in attorneys' fees by incorporating a business yourself -- Incorporate Your Business guides you through each step. In the end, your business will enjoy a number of advantages, including:

    Limited Liability
    Incorporating your business limits personal liability for business debts -- this means owners are not normally financially liable for business debts and court judgments.

    Tax Advantages
    You can split business income between yourself and your corporation, thereby lowering income taxes.

    Access to Capital
    Corporations have better access to private venture capital than any other type of business. They are also well positioned to raise capital by selling shares to the public.

    Employee Perks
    The owners of a corporation who work for the business are treated as employees. They can take advantage of tax-deductible, corporate-paid benefits such as:

  • pension plans
  • stock-option and stock bonus plans
  • medical expense reimbursement
  • term life insurance coverage
  • and more

    Incorporate Your Business provides the forms you need as tear-outs and on CD-ROM, including articles of incorporation, bylaws, minutes, stock certificates and resolutions.

    The 5th edition provides the latest federal laws, plus the current laws, rules and procedures of your state. (20080202)

This second edition, extensively updated and revised, includes such features as the following: scores of sample arbitration and forum selection clauses, including leading institutional arbitration clauses, ad hoc clauses and comprehensive guidance on drafting individualized clauses; sample language relating to discovery, language, arbitrators' qualifications, confidentiality, waivers of immunity, interim relief, fast-track procedures, costs, consent to service of process, and other commonly-used provisions; descriptions of all leading international arbitration institutions (ICC, LCIA, AAA, ICSID) and most major regional arbitration institutions, including commentary on individual characteristics of each institution; practically-oriented discussions of the importance of the arbitral seat, means of selecting arbitrators, language, and other key issues; detailed guidance on drafting choice-of-law clauses (including samples) and their role in dispute resolution; and practical analysis of enforcement of international arbitration and forum selection agreements, as well as national court judgments and international arbitral awards, under leading conventions and national laws. An appendix contains texts of the New York and European Conventions and the UNCITRAL Model Law, as well as arbitration rules of leading arbitral institutions. Designed for easy reference and use by both general practitioners and specialists, the book is required for any international practitioner or corporate counsel engaged in international matters.
