Working breakfast – IBA International Principles
on Conduct for the Legal Profession
A working session presented by the IBA Bar Issues Commission (BIC)
The IBA International Principles on Conduct for the Legal Profession
adopted on 28 May 2011, part of the BIC Programme for Excellence,
will inspire legal professionals who are involved in framing of rules,
regulations and policies for the legal profession in their jurisdictions.
Delegates will learn about some of the key specifications of the content
provided in the legal instruments and the challenges facing the legal
profession. Participants will have the opportunity to share their experiences
and provide examples of best practice in their jurisdiction. Based on the
principle ‘not to advise and be content, but to devise and implement’,
this session is designed for bar associations that are keen to achieve
organisational excellence. Associations of lawyers, as well as law firms
across Latin American will be welcome to use the IBA legal instruments
that make up the Programme for Excellence which offers an approach
in identifying organisational strengths and areas of improvement and
recognises successful efforts to implement excellence and best practice.

SESSION ONE
Overview of the M&A market and trends
for 2014
Mergers and acquisitions continue to be an area of significant growth in
the region. This panel will identify which sectors are becoming increasingly
attractive and which new players are eyeing the region for acquisition
opportunities. The session will also cover key differences between
transactions involving strategic or financial investors, the challenges
facing buyers making outbound acquisitions, and the impact of increasing
regulatory costs.

SESSION TWO
‘Greasing palms’ – a legal review of current
regulatory and enforcement trends in anticorruption in Latin America
The impact of corruption on Latin American economies has increased
over the past few years as a side-effect of the region’s economic progress
and development. The perception of corruption in Latin America is
demonstrated by the region’s rankings in the Transparency International
Corruption Index. Recent investigations and enforcement actions by the
US Department of Justice (responsible for the application of the Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act) against Latin American companies and individuals
in addition to local enforcement, new anti-corruption legislation in many
countries, and multi-jurisdictional collaboration among government
agencies give this topic current prominence.
Attorneys working in-house or in law firms must constantly improve
their skills to ensure competent support on issues related to anticorruption. These include understanding the legislative and regulatory
landscape, supporting clients’ compliance efforts and ensuring the proper
investigations and defence of companies if the need arises. This panel
will address the most pressing issues on anti-corruption which face Latin
American practitioners today.

SESSION THREE
Infrastructure challenges in Latin America: PPPs
Latin American countries have recently approved ambitious infrastructure
programmes and legal frameworks to funnel the massive amounts of
investment needed to improve the region’s infrastructure, mainly through
PPP schemes. This presents an extraordinary challenge for both the
public and private sector to design, contract, finance and execute a large
number of PPPs in a relatively short space of time. This session will include
participation from Latin American infrastructure legal experts who will
focus on current trends and opportunities, leading sectors and challenges.

SESSION FOUR
Antitrust
In recent years, Latin American countries have experienced rapid
development and increasing sophistication in competition law
enforcement. This panel will discuss the main subjects that usually arise
for competition practitioners. From a litigation approach, the discussion
will focus on private enforcement of competition laws (including damages
claims) and application and effectiveness of the leniency programs and
other cartel enforcement measures recently included in Latin American
legislation. From a transactional approach, the discussion will be focused
on the problems arising from merger control, especially on cross-border
transactions.

Banking and financial markets
The panel will discuss the major legal issues at the heart of Latin America’s
banking and financial markets. This will include:
• current lending and capital markets developments and trends;
• debt funds;
• project bonds;
• equity issuance;
• the relevant role that private pension funds and institutional investors are
playing as a source of financing;
• the important support of export credit agencies (ECA) and multilaterals;
• the increasing participation of Latin American banks in cross-border
transactions within the region;
• the continuing expansion of regional financial services providers;
• the impact of well-capitalised banking sectors; and
• the regulations that make that possible.

SESSION SIX
Renewable energy: overview of the current
situation in the region and its impact on the
energy matrix
Renewable energy is becoming a hot topic around the world and it’s easy
to see why. It reduces pollution, global warming and dependence on oilproducing countries as well as creating a more economically stable world
due to reduced fluctuation in oil prices. The use of renewable energy
requires a set of new rules and legislation that create a framework for
correct implementation. This session will give the participants an overview
on how renewable energy resources are being treated in different countries
within the region.

SESSION SEVEN
Structuring private equity and venture capital
investments
Private equity in Latin America has grown consistently in recent years.
Interest in the region is high compared to developed countries, presenting
an optimistic picture for the years to come. The industry is maturing
rapidly: there are more local funds ready to invest, while foreign investors
are changing their role from involvement-free investors seeking cheap
multiples, to more committed investors willing to participate actively in the
company after the deal is secured. However, there are still many limitations
including restricted level of leverage, lack of diversity in the financial
products, underdeveloped capital markets and difficulty in exiting. Latin
American lawyers are a key factor in bringing the right expertise and the
right tools to structure the deals, develop the business and secure effective
exit strategies.

SESSION EIGHT
Labour court decisions: a new source of law in
civil law countries?
In many Latin American countries, the number of labour lawsuits has
recorded a substantial growth, which resulted in the birth of the so-called
‘labour lawsuit industry’. This litigation area is characterised by the fact that
courts base their decisions on the previous rulings they, or a different court
has issued. This increased use of case law represents a major change in civil
law countries.
This panel will present the latest trends in labour court decisions and will
examine whether case law has stepped up to become a new source of law.
The panel will also discuss the risks faced by the judicial community as this
trend consolidates and the means envisaged for the mitigation of such
risks.

and risks and restrictions to the use and transfer
of land

opportunities and risks. During this session, experts will examine how to
address the challenges that arise in the food and farming sector of Latin
American economies.

SESSION TEN
Confidential information and bank secrecy in the
light of international tax information exchange
In recent years, there has been a dramatic expansion in cross-border
financial services and financial flows following the opening of new
markets, the development of new financial products and new advances
in technology. One significant challenge for governments is the increased
scope for illicit use of financial systems, especially for tax evasion.
This session will address some of the most relevant ways in which Latin
American governments have tried to avoid the abuse of bank secrecy by
organised crime, corruption and drug trafficking, through international and
local legislation.

The recent economic expansion in Latin America has been underpinned by
a booming agricultural sector. The region must draw upon its capacity of
creating value along the agricultural production chain to become a major
global food supplier. Topics will include:
• How to create a supportive environment for investment in agriculture
and related industry; and
• How to finance and develop a project in the agricultural sector.

SESSION ELEVEN
How to use social media in times of crisis
Law firms are increasingly coming to understand how social media can help
them build relationships that could lead to further business. Today, a firm’s
online image represents a significant part of its reputation. In fact, a recent
survey of US general counsel showed that two-thirds of law firms had
checked their LinkedIn accounts in the past day or week.
Should law firms also be engaging social media when crisis strikes?
Whether it’s a natural disaster such as Hurricane Sandy, a malpractice
lawsuit, loss of client data, allegations of discrimination or harassment or
a negative news story about the culture of the firm, there are social media
tools that can be used effectively to avert a crisis or for crisis management
and communication. A panel of experts will share their experiences on how
social media can help stop the ‘bleeding’ and can be used to communicate
with critical audiences at all stages of a crisis.

SESSION TWELVE
Mining: environmental and social concerns as
main challenges in the industry today
The mining industry has a long tradition of being considered deeply
detrimental towards both the environment and society in general.
Recent global surveys confirm that ‘environmental concerns’ (40 per
cent) closely followed by ‘social concerns’ (28 per cent) continue to be
the top sustainable development issues for the mining industry agenda.
This worldwide unease is being addressed by mining companies and
governments.
This panel will present and review the latest Latin American trends relating
to the environmental and social issues faced by the mining industry. It
will place special emphasis on the impact of mining on local communities
and the long-term relationships needing to be built with each community
where individual projects take place.

Law firms: how not to become a commodity
Law firms are probably facing one of their biggest financial challenges in
history: the commoditisation of high-end legal services and the reduction in
fees that will most likely follow. Questions this session will address include:
• How are law firms differentiating themselves from one another?
• What are the key elements considered by multinational companies or
international law firms to select local counsel?
• To what extent are legal fees key to determining which law firm to use? • What happened to trust, reliability and institutional relationships?
• Do niche practices, specialisations, personal branding and teamwork
make commoditisation impossible?
The panel will analyse the current situation and suggest possible solutions.

of international law reform and shapes the future of the legal profession throughout the world. It has a
membership of more than 50,000 individual lawyers and over 200 bar associations and law societies spanning all
continents. It has considerable expertise in providing assistance to the global legal community.
Grouped into two divisions – the Legal Practice Division and the Public and Professional Interest Division
– the IBA covers all practice areas and professional interests, providing members with access to leading experts
and up-to-date information. Through the various committees of the divisions, the IBA enables an interchange
of information and views among its members as to laws, practices and professional responsibilities relating to
the practice of business law around the globe. Additionally, the IBA’s high-quality publications and world-class
conferences provide unrivalled professional development and network-building opportunities for international
legal practitioners and professional associates.

The Latin American Regional Forum covers all countries in Latin America as well as Mexico, Puerto Rico and
Spanish-speaking areas of the Caribbean. The Forum provides a focus for all activities in the region. The group

perspective is addressed during relevant special sessions. The Forum is closely affiliated with the North American
Forum as the regions are geographically adjacent and share many issues.
