ECIJA

Arbitration is the cornerstone of the dispute resolution practice at ECIJA, which acts for high-profile multinationals – including household names in the telecoms, tech, energy and agribusiness sectors – as well as sovereign states in high-profile commercial and investment cases and enforcement actions. Lauded for its ‘high level of technical specialisation, strategic focus and a constant commitment to quality’, the team is well equipped to take on both domestic and international mandates, with the ability to join up with the international firm’s other offices in Latin America. In addition, the firm boasts active commercial litigation and criminal law practices. Practice head Mauricio París is a ’market leader’ in the field of domestic and international arbitration (and a member of the Court of Arbitration of the ICC in Paris). Other key figures include Arturo Guerrero, who is skilled in litigation and arbitration; of counsel José Francisco Madrigal, who oversees the criminal law practice; senior associate Aracelly López, who joined from Dentons in March 2025 and has strong experience in cross-border cases, and associate Mario Alberto Umaña.
