The practice is jointly led by the firm’s founding partners: Fernando Del Castillo, a specialist in insolvency, civil and mercantile litigation and arbitration; and Alfonso Castro, who brings corporate, banking, finance and capital markets experience to the table. Associate Karla Gabriela Silva assists with civil and commercial litigation, workouts, insolvency, commercial arbitration and other alternate dispute resolution methods. Linda García de Alba was promoted to the partnership in January 2023. Since publication, Silva has left the firm - effective as of January 2024.Practice head(s):
