As far as one client is concerned, Bofill Escobar Silva Abogados is ‘one of the best firms around for complex litigation’. Focused exclusively on business dispute resolution, the firm’s sizeable 28-strong practice is consistently mandated to act in high-profile or politically-sensitive disputes before local and foreign courts, governmental authorities and international arbitration tribunals. The team’s areas of expertise cover the litigation of cases involving civil, commercial, tax, antitrust and regulatory issues; and it regularly represents motorway, airport and other public works concessionaires in litigation before and against public entities, in relation to infrastructure, real estate and construction projects. The group additionally stands out for complex cases which involve the addressing of commercial, reputational and financial aspects.

The second line of experienced litigators includes criminal litigation specialist César Ramos; and of counsel Marcela Vega, who acts in commercial, civil, criminal and labour trials, as well as contentious-administrative matters concerning public institutions and superintendencies.
