We specialize in international disputes arising from building and engineering contracts, international investment protection (International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes or ISCID), international sales and supplies, services contracts, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and disputes between shareholders and companies, agencies and commercial distribution.
Our Arbitration Practice is particularly strong and well regarded in Latin America.
