Arbitration trends in Ecuador: accessibility, agility and innovation

In a context where commercial disputes are increasingly complex and global, arbitration has established itself as an effective alternative for their resolution. In Ecuador, this figure continues to evolve, not only in terms of procedural efficiency, but also in its ability to adapt to technological changes and the needs of economic actors.

Blanca Gómez de la Torre, partner at ECIJA GPA and expert in dispute resolution, shares her analysis on the main trends of arbitration in the country, reaffirming its role as a preferred mechanism for many companies, both nationally and internationally.

According to the analysis shared by our expert, the three most relevant trends in arbitration in Ecuador are:

• Arbitration as a more accessible and understandable tool.
• New modalities that prioritise agility and efficiency.
• The incorporation of artificial intelligence as a new challenge for the arbitration system.

We do so with a strategic vision, specialised knowledge and a firm commitment to innovative solutions that strengthen confidence in alternative dispute resolution methods.
