🎉Please join us in welcoming Adriana Uson to the ITA Advisory Board! 🌟 We asked Adriana what kinds of disputes or developments are shaping her work right now: "Two things, mostly. The first is how quickly cross-border disputes are changing. The questions I get from in-house counsel and practitioners are more specific than they were a few years ago: less “why this arbitral institution?” and more “how do we draft a clause for a technology that will look different by the time a dispute arises?” or “can an institution move at the speed our business does?” Those conversations have shaped much of what I’ve worked on recently, including the SIAC Rules 2025. The second is a shift in how parties in the Americas think about their options. When we opened SIAC’s New York office in 2020, much of my work was simply making people aware they had another option. Today, parties increasingly choose institutions based on what best fits their dispute rather than where the institution is headquartered. Helping build those connections and expand users’ options for resolving cross-border disputes has been one of the most rewarding parts of my work."
