On March 10, AmCham Argentina, with the support of our Association, organized the event “La actualidad de la Argentina. Acuerdo con el FMI y sus Clausulas Anticorrupcion”. We had the pleasure of listening to Pablo Secchi and Marcelo Octavio de Jesus (co-organizer of our DC chapter). It was interesting to learn more about Argentina’s current situation regarding corruption perception at the public sector and the importance the IMF has given to transparency and credibility in its new agreement with the Argentine government. We are grateful to AmCham Argentina and to all who participated!

Last week, a group of representatives of the Argentine Lawyers Association @alaofny met with Messrs. Francisco Javier Quintana and Alberto Biglieri, representatives of the Judiciary Council of the City of Buenos Aires (Consejo de la Magistratura de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires) at the Consulate General of Argentina in New York @argennewyork , as part of their visit to New York and Washington D.C. to learn more about the judicial system in the U.S. Daniel R. Alonso, External Relations Chair of our Association shared his knowledge of the judicial selection processes in the United States. We also had the chance to discuss potential ways of collaboration between our Organizations. We thank Rodrigo Agustin Miranda (Deputy Consul) and Andrés Höner (representative of the Judiciary Council) for arranging this meeting.

Ph. D. (Professor - Georgetown University) @georgetownuniversity and Argentine Lawyers Association @alaofny (D.C. Chapter) member, Gonzalo S. Paz (https://clas.georgetown.edu/profile/gonzalo-paz-faculty/) recently published an extremely current and important article in La Nacion referring to the Argentine President’s recent official visit to China and Russia: “All roads lead to Pekin?” (Todos los caminos conducen a Pekin?)”. Professor Paz is a pioneer in the studies of extra-regional powers in Latin America, particularly China and Russia. . . Congratulations Professor Paz!

This week, a group of representatives of the Argentine Lawyers Association of New York @alaofny met in New York with Mr. Alberto F. Garay, newly elected President of the Colegio de Abogados de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires (Buenos Aires City Bar). Discussions focused on the status of the Argentine judiciary and the legal profession, as well as ideas regarding joint initiatives, including research projects and academic events, which both entities can co-sponsor. The tie between our association and the Buenos Aires City Bar began in 2018, when both entities entered into an agreement with a view of facilitating a fluent interaction between lawyers practicing in Argentina and in the U.S. This relationship led to successful joint events and other forms of collaboration. We trust that relationships like this will help us expand our outreach and benefit all our members.

We are pleased to congratulate Guido Liniado, partner at Latham & Watkins and member of the Argentine Lawyers Association of New York @alaofny , on his recognition by Latinvex as one of the 25 Latin America Rising Legal Stars for 2021. Way to go Guido!

As we kick off 2022, the Argentine Lawyers Association of New York @alaofny is getting ready for another exciting year. Yesterday, we held the first meeting of authorities, where the Board of Directors and the Organizers of the Miami and DC Chapters exchanged ideas and discussed new projects.   Let’s hope that the new year brings nothing but good opportunities and positive things for each of our members and the entire community. While the current situation still presents certain challenges to meeting up in person, we trust that we will find ways to stay connected and continue our work better than ever. So, stay tuned and we’ll be sharing news soon!   Luis E. Denuble, Lucila (Luli) Hemmingsen, Joaquin Perez Alati, Camila Fernandez Llorente, and Ezequiel H. Vetulli (Directors); P. Augusto Van Thienen (Miami Chapter); Laura Bocalandro and Marcelo Octavio de Jesus (DC Chapter).

The Argentine Lawyers Association of New York @alaofny was founded in 2018 to promote professional relationships among Argentine lawyers practicing and studying in the U.S, and to support the community in different ways. Since its creation, we were fortunate to count with the support of the Consulate General and Promotion Center of Argentina in New York @argennewyork , which helped us to consolidate our platform and connect with the Argentine community. This alliance was key for our Association to rapidly expand its network, now exceeding 300 members in New York, Washington D.C, Miami and Europe.   In 2020, Mr. Santiago Villalba arrived in New York as the new Consul General. Since his arrival, and despite the COVID pandemic, Ambassador Villalba has opened the doors of the Consulate to our Association. This week, ALAoNY’s Board of Directors met with Ambassador Villalba and Mr. Alejandro Nervegna (Adjunct Consul General) to share ideas, discuss projects, and explore possible avenues of collaboration for 2022. Many thanks to them for their valuable time. We look forward to keep cultivating our relationship and working together to support the Argentine community in the U.S.   Luis E. Denuble, Lucila (Luli) Hemmingsen, Joaquin Perez Alati, Camila Fernandez Llorente, and Ezequiel H. Vetulli (ALAoNY's Directors).
