Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA): A leading European international arbitration institution administering complex commercial and infrastructure disputes. Competes with Ankawa for Europe-Latin America mandates and offers a longer precedent record and broader international party familiarity.
• American Arbitration Association (AAA) / International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR): The largest US-based ADR organization with an active international arbitration arm (ICDR). Competes with Ankawa for US-Latin America cross-border infrastructure and commercial disputes and offers a much broader portfolio across arbitration, mediation, and industry-specific panels.
• ICC International Court of Arbitration: The world's largest and most recognized international arbitration institution, administering cross-border commercial and infrastructure disputes globally. Sets the institutional benchmark that Ankawa competes against for premium cross-border Latin American mandates.
• Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC): One of the leading global arbitration institutions, frequently chosen as a seat for Asia-Latin America cross-border disputes. Comparable to Ankawa in international arbitration administration but with substantially larger caseload, broader seat options, and stronger global brand.

Others

• ICSID (International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes): World Bank-affiliated multilateral institution administering investor-state and international investment arbitration. Tangentially comparable as a Latin America-relevant international ADR institution, but operates in a distinct sovereign-investor mandate space rather than commercial arbitration.

Regional players

• Centro de Arbitraje de la Cámara de Comercio de Santiago: Chile's leading commercial arbitration center, primarily serving Chilean parties and cross-border disputes involving Chilean enterprises. Comparable to Ankawa in arbitration methodology and infrastructure dispute focus, but operating in a different primary national market.
• Centro de Arbitraje y Mediación de la Cámara de Comercio de Bogotá: Colombian commercial arbitration and mediation center attached to the Bogotá Chamber of Commerce. Comparable to Ankawa in ADR methodology and infrastructure-related disputes, but anchored in the Colombian market with its own national roster and institutional clients.
• CAM-CCBC (Centro de Arbitragem e Mediação Câmara de Comércio Brasil-Canadá): One of Latin America's largest and most active arbitration centers, based in São Paulo, Brazil. Comparable to Ankawa in offering arbitration, mediation, and dispute boards for commercial and infrastructure matters, with a deeper Brazilian caseload and broader international recognition.

Direct peers

• Centro de Arbitraje de la Cámara de Comercio de Lima: Lima Chamber of Commerce's arbitration center, one of the most established Peruvian ADR institutions. Operates a recognized arbitrator roster that overlaps with Ankawa's Fellows network and competes directly for Peruvian enterprise and construction-sector arbitration mandates.
• Centro de Arbitraje y Resolución de Conflictos PUCP (CARC-PUCP): Peruvian university-affiliated arbitration and conflict resolution center offering arbitration, mediation, and dispute board services from Lima. Directly comparable to CARD ANKAWA INTL in product scope, customer base (Peruvian enterprises, government, and law firms), and Latin American ADR positioning.
