Astrid DomínguezConsortium Legal

Consortium Legal‘s ‘extremely agile‘ dispute resolution team attracts praise for its ability to handle breach of contract claims against public entities; practice co-head Elías Arriaza is particularly prominent in litigation and arbitration (both ad hoc and institutional proceedings) in this space. Arriaza, who focuses on civil, commercial and constitutional disputes, also has a thriving debt recovery practice. On the criminal litigation front, the team represents clients in a wide range of environmental, tax fraud and IP cases. Lionel Aguilar, a founding partner of the Guatemala office, leads the criminal side of the practice, with an emphasis on tax disputes, alongside Astrid Domínguez, who was elevated to the partnership in January 2023. David Erales also has extensive experience in contentious tax matters, and recently promoted senior associate Erick Efrén Pérez provides capable support.
