About

Provided by Castellán Abogados

Castellán’s Dispute Resolution practice advises local and international clients on complex civil, commercial, corporate, regulatory and administrative disputes, combining technical rigor with a strategic and business-oriented approach.

The team handles litigation before courts and administrative authorities, as well as arbitration and alternative dispute resolution. Its experience includes shareholder and corporate disputes, post-M&A litigation, contractual and commercial claims, infrastructure and state liability matters, regulatory proceedings and disputes involving complex assets and investments.

A key differentiator is the practice’s ability to look beyond the immediate legal dispute. Working closely with Castellán’s corporate, tax, accounting, labour and regulatory teams, the department assesses the legal, financial, reputational and operational implications of each matter and develops strategies aligned with the client’s broader business objectives.

The practice represents both multinational and domestic clients across sectors including infrastructure, construction, automotive, logistics, retail, agribusiness, technology and financial services.

Its cross-border capabilities are further strengthened through B-Conex Latam, enabling coordinated dispute strategies and execution across multiple Latin American jurisdictions through a single regional team.
