El País Uruguay published an opinion article by Nicolás E. Bianchi, partner at PBX International Law, entitled “Analysis: the new Secretary of Strategic Litigation is a historic opportunity for Uruguay.”
In his column, Nicolás examines the context in which the new Secretary was created, against a backdrop of a sustained increase in international arbitration proceedings and claims exceeding USD 2 billion in aggregate. The piece analyzes the strategic importance of coordinating the State’s defense in national and international litigation, the budgetary and reputational impact of such disputes, and the need to move toward a holistic and preventive international defense policy.
The article also underscores the value of consolidating specialized technical expertise within the State, strengthening inter-institutional coordination, and designing public policies that are not only legitimate and necessary, but also defensible in the face of potential international claims.
At PBX International Law, we welcome this contribution to public debate in the country’s leading newspaper and reaffirm our commitment to rigorous analysis of the challenges facing Uruguay in international litigation and investment arbitration.
