The arbitration agreement provokes dilemmas when related to legal acts with implications in consumer protection law (including class claims). The solutions have oscillated between favoring either arbitration or consumer protection. I propose that there is a better view: their coexistence. This alternative has the merit that the protected interest of each of them is respected and achieved. This leads to more rights, which is always desirable, particularly when dealing with protected parties (as consumers).

Traditionally, international trade has been seen as a way in which countries and individuals seek to exchange goods and increase wealth. However, recent global trends, including the environmental, social and governance (ESG) movement, have placed basic human rights at the forefront of all human interactions including within international trade.
It is with this view in mind that the panel will deal with three issues (there are more) that always should be tended to when conducting international sale of goods transactions: labour rights; gender rights; and environmental rights.

Annual IBA Latin American Regional Forum Young Lawyers’ Training Programme
President Donald Trump’s draft budget reportedly reduces federal funding for civil legal aid from $375m to zero. The idea of eliminating the Legal Services Corporation, whose funding is already low by global and historical standards, had drawn swift condemnation from legal aid leaders of both parties, as well as from leading non-partisan lawyers’ groups.
The word most frequently looked up on Merriam-Webster.com the week of Donald Trump’s swearing-in was ‘emoluments.’ It will surely have spiked again from, mid-June, as two new lawsuits alleged the President has routinely accepted foreign benefits through his business empire in violation of the murky constitutional directive that he must not ‘without the Consent of the Congress, accept any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.’

Venture debt, a different funding alternative for startups, has positioned itself firmly in the venture business in the past few years, reaching high numbers in the US market by 2022, and more recently has begun to gain position in other markets, such as Latin America. This type of financing seems counterintuitive at first, since the logic behind loan financing has not aligned traditionally with the high-risk profile and low cash flows of startups. This has led to burdensome requirements for its founders, who have had to back up the loans personally, but the empirical data seems to point towards a significant use and growth of this type of financing. This article looks at how venture debt works and why it works.
