Following the success of the Legal Management Forum (Foro de Gerencias Legales) held in Bogotá last April, two further cities will host this benchmark event for legal departments: Miami (5 June) and Lima (7 August).

Gericó Associates, the event organiser, is hosting this new edition of the Legal Management Forum at Akerman’s Miami office, where prominent legal professionals, leaders, and members of in-house legal departments from across Ibero-America will gather to analyse the challenges and opportunities they face in an increasingly competitive and ever-evolving business environment.

Throughout the day, six themed panels will take place, addressing the most relevant issues for the legal leadership of large corporations. The event will open with a panel on ‘Miami as a Bridge between the US and Latin America’. This will be followed by a focus on ‘International Disputes’, and the morning session will close with a panel on ‘The FinTech Revolution in Miami: How Regulation Drives Technological Innovation and Digital Opportunities’.

The afternoon session will feature a panel dedicated to ‘Compliance in International Investments’, another on ‘The Role of Legal Counsel in Mergers and Acquisitions’, and the day will conclude with a panel titled ‘Navigating the US Regulatory Framework’.

The panels will include contributions from partners at law firms and legal managers from companies such as SKY Airline, Avianca, FIFA, GESA Globalist Ventures LLC, Primax, TelevisaUnivisión, Grupo Colgas and NIUBIZ, among others.

This event, which is free of charge and exclusively for in-house lawyers, is sponsored by Akerman, Cáceres Torres, Consortium Legal, McDermott Will & Emery, Aguado & Ruiz Abogados, and BBL Advogados, with institutional support from the Miami International Arbitration Society and the University of Miami – School of Law.
