/ International Arbitration and Litigation
Érica Franzetti focuses on international commercial and investor-state arbitration across several industry sectors (e.g., energy and natural resources, life sciences, financial services, hospitality, and information technology) and jurisdictions (e.g., U.S., Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Croatia, Hungary, and the Philippines). She advises on multiple procedural rules, including the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR), and United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) arbitral rules.
Prior to practicing international arbitration, Érica practiced law at a leading Brazil-based law firm, where she represented clients in complex commercial litigation proceedings before the Brazilian courts.
Érica also serves as arbitrator on international commercial arbitrations and frequently lectures in arbitration conferences and law schools. She is licensed to practice law in New York, Washington D.C., and Brazil, and is also an active advocate for the promotion of diversity within the international arbitration community.
Admitted to practice in Washington, D.C., New York, and Brazil. NOT ADMITTED IN FLORIDA.
