Antonio Amusategui Batalla, Lawyer and Arbitrator (MCIArb), is a member in the Board of the European Branch of CIArb and Chair of The Iberian Chapter. He holds a Master's in Economics, Business Administration and Law.

His activity has been developed over more than three decades and focused on planning ventures and investments, negotiation processes and dealing approaches in areas as real estate and urban land development, property assets and portfolios, advising on financial and monetary policies. Recently he has got experience in blockchain, crypto and virtual assets and the art asset investment and advisory. He has also had a presence in ad-hoc multicultural and multitasked teams for achievements related to the above topics.

Above all, he is fond of practising a serious pre-litigation approach to settle controversies and avoid unnecessary disputes, taking action early. He says a proactive attitude in contract management is necessary for such goals. He supports this view and does landing that idea in the companies' strategy better than promoting litigation spirit and blocking any chance for consensus by mistaken biases. This way, insists, achieves better performance and strength in quality the balance sheet; and that helps increase efficiency for financial ratios and companies' appraisal. However, he summarises that it is all a matter of collaborative preference, being the ADR toolbox more than Arbitration as the single hammer at hand for any nail at sight
