Practice Areas

Described as “a brilliant strategist who always has absolute command of the subject matter and is always prepared,” José Astigarraga is both an experienced arbitrator and an advocate who represents clients in international business disputes.

José is one of only six lawyers worldwide ranked by Chambers in the top band of international arbitration practitioners for Latin America and one of only nine lawyers ranked in the top band of international arbitration practitioners in the United States.

Cited for his “extraordinary critical thinking skills, strategic planning, extensive international relationships and depth of experience”, which “put him on a level all by himself,” he served on the ICC’s Arbitration Commission for years, co-chaired its Task Force on the Accuracy of Witness Memory, and served as vice president of the LCIA for much of his 10 years on the Court.

He led the IBA’s worldwide Task Force on the Guidelines for Arbitrator Conflicts of Interest. He was appointed by the U.S. Government to advise the NAFTA Commission on the promotion of international arbitration, and served as expert for the U.S. Department of State before the Organization of American States.
