LITIGATION AND ARBITRATION

“The team has always been available and has shown proactivity in finding solutions.”

Chambers & Partners Europe

With a team of highly specialized lawyers, we have vast experience in a wide range of judicial and arbitration proceedings related to the business world. Our reputation, based on a rigorous, practical and client-focused approach, positions us as a benchmark in the competitive dispute resolution market both at home and abroad.

We stand out for representing our clients in a wide variety of jurisdictions and preferably before the courts of Spain and Portugal and before the Court of Justice of the European Union. Likewise, we recurrently collaborate in support of legal proceedings abroad, either leading the cases or as co-counsels in support of local firms, which has earned us a good reputation in the international legal market.

With a solid network of collaborating firms in Latin America and an extensive network of contacts in Europe thanks to our associations, we provide first class global advice to national and international companies, as well as to large estates and family businesses

International arbitration

In the dynamic global scenario of dispute resolution, international arbitration emerges as the preferred method for its speed and efficiency, as well as for the confidence it generates in the different legal operators. With a solid background in international arbitration proceedings, we can successfully address even the most complex disputes regardless of the applicable legal framework.

Our experience ranges from commercial and investment arbitration to jurisdictional proceedings in support of arbitration such as applications for interim measures, appointment of arbitrators, annulment actions and recognition and enforcement of awards. We are also actively involved in alternative dispute resolution (ADR) proceedings, both pre-arbitral and concurrent to arbitral proceedings, so that we can offer our clients a strong expertise in all types of cross-border disputes linked to international arbitration.

With a solid activity in Latin America with the leading firms in each country depending on the subject matter, we are positioned at the forefront of international advice in a wide range of disputes in different sectors: construction, oil and gas, energy, corporate disputes, mergers and acquisitions, financial disputes, sports, transportation, technology and defense.

Thus, we have had the privilege of representing several clients before the main arbitration courts worldwide, including the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), the Swiss Courts, the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC) or the Madrid International Arbitration Centre (CIAM), as well as in other ad hoc arbitrations.

Our experience in civil procedure and arbitration includes, among others, the following matters:

Challenging corporate resolutions, liability of directors and auditors, among others.
