Akin international arbitration partners Kabir Duggal and Felipe Nazar Pagani are featured by Law.com International in an article titled “Akin Adds Dispute Resolution Muscle for Latin America” and by Global Arbitration Review in an article titled “Akin adds two partners in New York” on their move to the firm.

The New York-based duo will further strengthen the firm’s growing international arbitration group, while also expanding its Latin American disputes practice and enhancing its ability to serve clients across the region.

With an influx of pro-business administrations in Latin America, more economic activity may be on the horizon. Kabir tells Law.com International that “all this business activity” will “lead to disputes.”

Felipe described his move to Akin as an opportunity to “offer top-notch advice for the arbitration itself while also drawing from the deep bench of practitioners in the public interest group that can assist clients to get the best resolutions for their matters.”

The duo’s move to the firm has also been reported by Bloomberg Law, Latin Lawyer and Latinvex.
