Much of the team is located in the Madrid, Barcelona and Lisbon offices, but the practice also benefits from the expertise and resources of associated firm, Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría, which has offices in in Chile, Colombia and Peru. The group frequently represents Europe-based multinationals (particularly those from the Iberian peninsula) in investment treaty cases against Latin American states and commercial arbitrations against Latin American businesses. José Miguel Fatás became head of the practice in January 2023, following the promotion of Jesús Remón Peñalver to the position of senior partner.
