Eugenia Pracchia

Complex dispute resolution. High-value commercial, corporate and contractual litigation. Domestic and international commercial arbitration.

Eugenia Pracchia is a partner at Tavarone Rovelli Salim Miani, where she co-heads the Litigation, Arbitration & Insolvency department. Admitted in 2006, she acts as counsel and co-counsel in complex disputes across the full contentious spectrum: commercial arbitration, high-value commercial, corporate and contractual litigation, class action defence, and administrative and public law proceedings.

Her arbitration experience covers domestic and international proceedings under the Arbitration Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), before the General Arbitration Tribunal of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange (Tribunal de Arbitraje General de la Bolsa de Comercio de Buenos Aires) and the Centro Empresarial de Mediación y Arbitraje (CEMA), and in ad hoc arbitrations. She is a member of CEMA's list of arbitrators and of its Executive Committee and sits on the Executive Committee of the Argentine Chapter of the Club Español e Iberoamericano del Arbitraje (CEIA).

In litigation, Pracchia represents financial institutions, fintechs, capital markets intermediaries and major corporates. She has a substantial defence-side class action practice in consumer protection, antitrust and financial products claims affecting entire retail customer bases, and litigates high-value commercial, corporate, contractual and public law disputes at every stage, from first instance through to the Argentine Supreme Court.

She draws on her regulatory background to defend financial institutions and fintechs before the Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA), the securities regulator (CNV) and the anti-money laundering regulator (UIF), and in court.

Eugenia began her career at Bruchou, Fernández Madero & Lombardi, where she practised from 2006 to 2016, latterly as a Senior Associate, in commercial litigation and arbitration, administrative proceedings, financial and foreign exchange regulation and anti-money laundering. From 2016 to 2018 she served as Adviser to the Board of Directors of the BCRA, working on banking, foreign exchange, capital markets, anti-money laundering and payment systems regulation.
