Beccar Varela's consumer law practice holds a prominent place in the Argentine market, advising clients across fair trade, consumer protection regulations and consumer disputes. Advertising, product labelling, product liability, e-commerce and relationships with consumers, are all key areas of expertise. Administrative and judicial litigation and class actions are also specialisms of the practice group. Primarily focused on civil and commercial litigation (including product liability and torts), Gonzalo García Delatour co-leads the team alongside Federico Sosa, whose practice is centred on litigation and class actions. Other key practitioners include Ignacio Flores, who is experienced in product liability litigation and consumer law disputes. Senior associates Sofía Deferrari and Rocío Labán also support the practice’s contentious capabilities. Former senior Victoria Rabasa moved in house in January 2025.

- Federico Sosa and Rocío Labán stand out for their knowledge and attention to detail in defending cases.
- I deal with Federico Sosa a lot. He is a very good professional with solid knowledge of his practice.
- It's a very current and increasingly in-demand practice in Argentina. It deals with all kinds of consumer claims that affect the entire production chain of practically every industry. I believe that, compared to other firms, Beccar Varela is superior, especially in assisting banking and financial institutions with these types of matters.
