As geopolitical pressure, tariffs and regulatory intervention continue to reshape the investment landscape in Latin America, Chinese investors are facing heightened political, contractual and enforcement risks—often well before any dispute formally arises. Many of these risks can be mitigated—or avoided entirely—through early planning and structuring decisions. This session focuses on how to anticipate risks and build protection into investments at the planning stage, before issues escalate.

Discussion points will include:

• Issues that investors encounter when investing in Latin America
• Key risks that Chinese investors encounter in Latin America
• Measures from a contractual perspective to deal with regulatory changes
• Corporate structuring and nationality planning

Despite careful planning, disputes do arise. As regulatory intervention and state involvement increase across Latin America, Chinese investors are increasingly facing disputes with counterparties and governments. When issues escalate, being prepared early can make a decisive difference to outcomes, timing and recovery. Building on Part 1, this session focuses on what to do once things go wrong, with an emphasis on dispute readiness, arbitration strategy and enforcement against state entities and overseas assets.

Discussion points will include:

• Investment treaty protection
• Enforcement of arbitration awards against State entities
• Beyond arbitration and litigation: other tools to manage political risk
