Juliana de Valdenebro-Garrido handles international commercial and investment arbitration disputes from beginning to end, and is already a recognized leader in the international arbitration community.

She has amassed a long list of arbitration wins before various arbitral institutions and rules, such as International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, as well the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) rules and has worked on a number of post-arbitral proceedings ranging from annulment to enforcement of awards. Most recently, Juliana was the lead associate in six arbitration hearings in six months which proved to be an important accomplishment.

Juliana currently serves as an International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Young Arbitrators Forum (YAF) representative for North America, a role where the ICC appoints those future leaders to be ambassadors of the leading arbitral institution. She is also a frequent speaker in the most relevant forums, including ICC Miami, GAR Live – Future Leaders, the Conferencia Latinoamericana de Arbitraje, ICC NEW York, IBA Arb40, among others.
