Arbitration in Mexico

Arbitration in Mexico is the most comprehensive and first-of-its-kind book in English on arbitration law and practice in Mexico, offering an exhaustive pragmatic analysis of arbitration in Mexico in various fields and an in-depth description and analysis of the role and attitude of national courts towards arbitration and national, regional, and international arbitration institutions. Mexico has played a major role in shaping the growth and development of international arbitration practice, in significant part due to its global prominence at the competitive forefront of manufacturing, agriculture, telecommunications, finance, real estate, tourism, trade, and commercial transactions, all while crafting its own policies to achieve the energy transition. In addition, its close ties with the United States and Canada and its important business relations with the rest of the world have made Mexico a leading subject of investment treaty practice.
