Héctor E. Infante recently authored a chapter for GAR's publication: The Arbitration Review of the Americas 2025. The focus of his chapter is on: Rapid Increase in Arbitrations with the State and State Entities in Panama.


The past few years have seen an exponential increase in the number of arbitrations with the state and state entities, particularly in major infrastructure contracts. This article provides an overview of recent legal developments regarding the use of arbitration as an alternative to litigation in public procurement and public–private partnership contracts. It also addresses the use of dispute boards in infrastructure projects and the need for more transparency in arbitrations involving states and state entities, and highlights Panama’s participation in UNCITRAL Working Group III.
