Event Overview

“Resilience and Opportunity: Legal Practice in Times of Economic and Political Change”

In regions where legal certainty is challenged by economic cycles and political transitions, lawyers play a key role in maintaining stability, guiding investment, and upholding the rule of law. Today, legal professionals are called to navigate complexity, manage risk, and uncover opportunities. Across Latin America and other emerging markets, the legal landscape is shifting rapidly in response to political change, regulatory pressure, and rising societal expectations. 

Join AIJA’s 5th Americas Meeting in Perú (the country that hosted the new Pope for several years), to connect with participants from different jurisdictions around the world, and share insights on emerging challenges, and reflect on the legal profession’s responsibility and resilience in moments of change. The academic programme will revolve around related topics like legal strategies for structuring investments in volatile environments; evolving standards in corporate governance and crisis management; the legal dimensions of natural resource development and community engagement; and regional trends in compliance, anti-corruption, and ESG.

The backdrop for this unique meeting will be a coastal capital that blends colonial history with modern vitality. As a key legal and financial hub in the region, Lima provides the perfect setting for international exchange. Renowned for its award-winning gastronomy, cultural depth, and proximity to amazing attractions such as Machu Picchu and Iquitos, the city provides a compelling setting for dialogue and networking.
