Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards

The chosen dispute-resolution mechanism may be as important as the obligations contained in a contract. Enforcing a foreign award in Argentina requires attention to recognition, treaties and limited grounds for refusal.

What to keep in mind

Review the original award, arbitration agreement, required translations, service evidence, assets and competent court procedures.

Obtaining an award does not automatically ensure collection against a solvent debtor.

Distinctions often confused

Recognition of a foreign award and execution against assets are related but distinct stages.

Frequently asked questions

Does the New York Convention matter in Argentina?
