About

Provided by Durini & Guerrero Abogados

Type of work handled

We represent companies, investors and public and private entities in high-complexity disputes, from the initial assessment of risk through to enforcement. Before litigating, we weigh the facts, the evidence and the likely cost and timing of each route, and recommend negotiation, mediation, arbitration or court proceedings accordingly. Our experience covers civil, commercial, contractual, corporate and liability disputes, domestic and international arbitration, and the recognition and enforcement of judgments and awards, with particular strength in construction, mining, banking, manufacturing and infrastructure. We also handle asset recovery and portfolio collection, from pre-litigation settlements to executive and insolvency proceedings.

Recent work highlights

Recent work includes high-value contractual disputes, banking litigation, secured debt recovery, arbitration arising from distribution agreements, trademark infringement claims and mining-related property litigation. The team has obtained favourable judgments, reduced clients’ financial exposure through negotiated settlements and developed strategies to accelerate recoveries.
