Before joining the AAA-ICDR, Yanett served as the secretary general for the Mediation and Arbitration Commission of the Mexico City National Chamber of Commerce (CANACO) for eight years, during which she administered proceedings under various organizations’ rules. During her career in Mexico, she worked at law firms, where she litigated commercial and civil cases before Mexican Courts, assisted arbitrators in arbitrations, drafted commercial and civil contracts, and designed legal strategies for clients.
