Argentina's multi-sector legislative and digital reform

Overview

Since May 2026, Argentina has pursued an extensive reform agenda. Digitalization efforts include the IGJ simplifying corporate registration and Mendoza’s property registry moving to a fully electronic system. The judiciary has also adopted AI to accelerate commercial agreement resolutions.

A central pillar of the reform is the proposed overhaul of the General Companies Law. This includes creating legal categories for “non-human corporations” (AI-run entities) and “Decentralized Autonomous Organizations” (DAOs) using blockchain. While President Milei promotes these to attract tech investment, critics warn of risks to accountability and democratic safeguards.

Labour reforms under Law 27.802 have faced significant friction. The government is pushing to renegotiate hundreds of expired collective bargaining agreements, aiming to replace sector-wide contracts with company-level deals and introduce “dynamic salaries.” However, these moves have met intense opposition from unions and have faced multiple judicial setbacks, including court orders suspending specific articles and a collective lawsuit by the Public College of Lawyers regarding attorney fees.

In the regulatory and IP sectors, the INPI has updated trademark nullity and opposition procedures to increase efficiency. Additionally, the repeal of restrictive biotech patent rules aims to boost innovation. In health, ANMAT has simplified the approval process for vaccines and biological medicines through a risk-based reliance mechanism.

Justice reforms continue at the provincial level, with Jujuy and Misiones implementing mediation and new juvenile penal regimes, while Buenos Aires has gained expanded jurisdiction over various criminal offenses.
