Aguas Argentinas: Settling a Dispute
By: Louis T. Wells Jr. and Alexandra de Royere
Abstract
The French-owned Aguas Argentinas faces a demand from the Argentine government that it renegotiate its concession to operate the Buenos Aires water and sewage services. The company must decide whether to continue with efforts to settle on a new contract or to exercise its rights to go to international arbitration. Either way, it must decide on its strategy going forward.
