Our Dispute Resolution team is the largest litigation department among the Peruvian big full-service firms and the only one offering litigation representation in civil, commercial, criminal and public law. We regularly participate in the most complex arbitration proceedings in the country.
We have some team members work in other practice groups as well, such as electricity, civil law, infrastructure and real state. We also have lawyers experienced in investor-state and international arbitration.
Furthermore, we participate in arbitration cases as defense attorneys or arbitrators in disputes heard by Peruvian or international arbitration courts. We have experience litigating under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce, UNCITRAL, ICSID and the American Arbitration Association.
