Bomchil represents clients across a broad range of industries in business-critical controversies. The group is led by a capable quartet consisting of: María Inés Corrá, who is noted for her handling of energy, public and administrative-related litigation; Martín Torres Girotti, who excels in commercial litigation, class actions, and damages claims; Federico Campolieti, who stands out in high-value commercial and investment arbitration; and Javier Petrantonio, who is heavily involved in M&A disputes. Additional depth is provided by Francisco Gutiérrez, who is instructed on regulatory and TMT-related disputes; Melisa Romero, who represents clients in consumer class action proceedings; and up-and-coming figure Santiago Peña, who plays an important role in arbitration and regulatory disputes, particularly those involving administrative law controversies. Julia Villanueva moved in house at Asia Group in March 2026; former senior associate Clara Depietri also left the firm (effective June 2026).
