In this role, she evaluates applications, coordinates appraisals and re-appraisals, and leads initiatives to expand IMI’s network, with a particular focus on Latin America.

In 2023, she was awarded the prestigious Weinstein JAMS International Fellowship to explore dispute resolution processes and practices in the United States, with a particular focus on mandatory mediation and mediation advocacy. She served as Director of the Mediation Institute at the Rafaela Bar Association (2022–early 2025), where she led initiatives to enhance mediation policy and practice.

Liliana holds a Master’s degree in Administrative Law from the National University of Rosario (Argentina), where her thesis focused on the integration of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) into municipal public administration in line with principles of good governance. Drawing on her experience as legal counsel in municipal government, she examined how ADR tools, particularly mediation, could improve administrative processes. Her academic training also includes a specialization in Public Policy with a Gender Perspective (Ibero-American Union of Municipalists and UN Women, Granada) and a postgraduate diploma in International Human Rights Law in the Argentine Legal System (National University of Rosario).

Her dedication to promoting high-quality mediation at both the national and international levels reflects her deep commitment to advancing mediation as a recognized and respected profession worldwide.
