About

Provided by Cuatrecasas

We have a strong Litigation and Arbitration Practice, made up of a team of lawyers of recognized standing and who are highly specialized in dispute resolution, whether in court or alternative proceedings. They offer personalized, expert advice on civil, commercial, constitutional and administrative issues. Thanks to our experience and in-depth knowledge of the local and federal courts, as well as of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, we apply the most efficient and successful approach to each case. 


As a leading law firm in international arbitration, we represent national and international clients during the pre-litigation phase and in arbitration proceedings. We act in complex disputes in different sectors requiring specialized legal advice and in-depth knowledge of arbitration. We specialize in international disputes arising from building and engineering contracts, international investment protection (International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes or ISCID), international sales and supplies, services contracts, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and disputes between shareholders and companies, agencies and commercial distribution.


Our Arbitration Practice is strong and well regarded in Latin America. Our offices in Santiago, Bogotá, Mexico City, and Lima are strategic hubs for developing our regional practice, and we have handled many arbitrations in countries such as Argentina, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Venezuela.
