100 KEY TERMS USED IN INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION
For over 20 years, at The TR Company we have been working with major law firms in Argentina and worldwide. We assist them mainly in highly complex international arbitrations translating pleadings such as Memorial, Counter-Memorials, Replies and Rejoinders, witness statements, expert reports, thousands of exhibits, and awards.
It is an amazing area of practice which we’ve learned to love. Here we’ve compiled 100 key terms used in international arbitration.
