Firm Overview: 

LITREDI is a boutique law firm specialised in arbitration, litigation, and dispute resolution in general. The advantages of having a specialised and close-knitted team is reflected in benefit of its clients since the members and partners of LITREDI are directly involved in each case avoiding the delegation of important matters in junior and less skilled attorneys. It provides legal services, in all stages of a controversy, including, of course any potential settlement, to national and international clients including corporations, governments, state-owned entities, private individuals, organisations and vulnerable groups. LITREDI members together have more than 58 years of experience and throughout their professional careers have been successful in 94% of their cases. The firm seeks to make a positive difference and provides clients with the highest level of support and personal involvement at every stage. The firm is also an expert in the design of tailor-made strategies for the prompt and efficient resolution of a dispute and, where possible, for the avoidance of future conflicts.

MAIN AREAS OF PRACTICE: 

Commercial Arbitration: 

LITREDI has a deep-rooted understanding of arbitration as their members have been at the forefront of well-known cases that have set precedents in the arbitration and related litigation arenas. The work LITREDI takes up include the advice on all stages of the commercial arbitration proceeding (including the adoption of arbitration agreements, the design of dispute avoidance strategies and the early management of future controversies) and, if necessary, the appearance as counsel before all major arbitral institutions, such as ICC, LCIA, ICDR-AAA, CAM, CANACO, SIAC, HKIAC, as well as ad hoc arbitrations under UNCITRAL Rules or others. Specific LITREDI members also have thorough experience sitting as arbitrators and as legal experts in arbitration proceedings.

Investment Arbitration: 

LITREDI has solid knowledge of the foundations, principles, and legal and political dynamics that underlie Investment Treaties, including the USMCA. Likewise, LITREDI has vast experience in this type of dispute, allowing it not only to design defensive, preventive and planning strategies, but also to handle proceedings before ICSID.

Administrative & Public Law Litigation: 

The firm provides unparalleled advice and representation in disputes involving state companies or regulatory entities, and issues that arise from contracts subject to arbitration, but which encompass topics exclusively subject to the jurisdiction of administrative courts (such as administrative rescission) due to the extensive experience of its members handling disputes that involves energy, oil and gas, and infrastructure (for example, PEMEX, CFE and the Ministry of Communications and Transportation). Additionally, LITREDI has broad knowledge and experience in administrative proceedings for the defense of consumer and economic rights guaranteeing fair competition.

Commercial Litigation: 

LITREDI has a well-established practice in private disputes. Its members have significant experience acting before Mexican commercial, local and federal, courts in important contractual and extra contractual claims.

*The commercial proceedings that LITREDI handles arise mainly from previous arbitral disputes or administrative proceedings considering its areas of specialisation.

Amparo (Constitutional Proceedings for the Protection of Fundamental Rights):

Amparo is an essential tool for LITREDI due to its direct link whether to arbitration or litigation. The firm usually gives amparo lawsuits an important role in the design strategies to protect and defend its clients against legal reforms that may affect their fundamental rights. Therefore, the members of LITREDI have developed outstanding experience in amparo proceedings and provides clients with useful and skilled advice.
