Facio & Cañas

Facio & Cañas is widely recognised for the breadth of its dispute resolution practice, handling the full scope of complex civil, administrative, commercial, labour, environmental and criminal litigation (including IP and economic fraud cases), in addition to arbitration. Acting for prominent regional and international clients across an array of sectors, including food and beverage, entertainment, and automotive, the team has a standout record in complex cases before the national courts, including the Supreme Court and arbitration tribunals. Federico Torrealba leads the practice, bringing to bear more than three decades of experience in both litigation and arbitration, with a particular emphasis on anti-counterfeiting and real estate fraud cases. Gianna Cersosimo, whose broad practice encompasses judicial collection actions, IP, consumer protection and competition cases, criminal litigation, and arbitration, is also a highly regarded member of the team. Carlos Oreamuno, an expert in disputes over distribution and agency agreements, and Roberto Leiva, who has extensive experience in commercial arbitration (including serving as an arbitrator), are further key names at partner level. The strong secondary line-up includes senior associate Adelita Olivares, who is highly recommended for criminal litigation, and associates Sofía Pérez and María Lucía Torrealba.
