The firm's Arbitration team has sponsored clients in commercial disputes under the rules of the main arbitration institutions and has been a preferred advisor for matters related to investment contracts and bilateral treaties, and has obtained some of the most important awards in Bolivia history for its clients.
The success of PPO's Appellate Litigation team stems from the vast experience of all its members, having practiced as lawyers, prosecutors, judges and public officials. This makes the team, together with the Commercial Litigation and Arbitration, Public Law and Criminal Defense teams, better positioned than any other to address all aspects of the need to bring an appeal before a judicial or administrative authority.
PPO has a strong track record of success sponsoring trials, arbitrations and appeals for clients from all industries, including particularly those operating within the energy, hydrocarbon, mining, healthcare, consumer products and retail, pharmaceutical, insurance, banking and financial services.
