Miami is rapidly becoming the leading multilingual arbitration hub in the Americas. In this episode, we explore how Spanish is emerging as a third language in arbitration and why Miami’s unique position between North and South America is accelerating that shift.

I’m Winfield Trivette II, an international bilingual paralegal working across Spanish, Portuguese, and English for firms handling Latin American business and global IP disputes.

What’s happening now:
English and French have long dominated arbitration.

Today, Spanish is gaining real influence—reshaping how hearings sound, how contracts are interpreted, and how parties present their cases. Miami sits at the center of this transformation, supported by its bilingual legal community, regional connectivity, and growing institutional presence.

What you’ll learn:

• Miami’s strategic role as a multilingual arbitration seat
• How institutions are elevating Spanish in rules, staffing, and case management
• Why Spanish creates a competitive advantage in a trilingual landscape
• How Spanish‑language proceedings reduce risk and preserve nuance in cross‑border disputes

WIIFM:
Lawyers, paralegals, and translators will gain practical insights into drafting arbitration clauses, advising clients, and navigating bilingual or trilingual proceedings with greater precision.

Spanish is no longer just a language of communication in arbitration.

In Miami, it’s becoming a strategic asset.

Spanish is gaining real strategic weight in international arbitration. This episode explains why: the data behind its growing use, the institutional momentum elevating it as a procedural language, and the practical advantages it creates when the governing law and commercial reality are rooted in Spanish‑speaking jurisdictions.

I’m Winfield Trivette II, a bilingual paralegal working across Latin America and global IP disputes.

You’ll hear how Spanish reduces translation friction, preserves doctrinal nuance, and strengthens the clarity of argument, and where paralegals add measurable value in bilingual workflows.

What you gain:

• A clear view of Spanish as a legal and cultural bridge
• Insight into current arbitration language trends
• Practical angles for clauses, briefings, and seat‑selection strategy
• A sharper sense of how bilingual precision shapes outcomes

Spanish is no longer a background variable. It is a strategic strength reshaping cross‑border arbitration.
