Dentons Central America's dispute resolution team is equally adept at handling litigation and arbitration, and has recently seen a significant uptick in cross-border disputes (especially involving international investors, foreign financial institutions and US-based parties), cases relating to sustainability and regulated industries (with an emphasis on disputes concerning major public infrastructure projects), and restructuring and insolvency proceedings. The broad practice also covers contractual, corporate, real estate, labour, tax and IP cases, with the team frequently working alongside other departments and offices within the global Dentons network. At the head of the team, Roy Herrera enjoys an excellent reputation for handling complex litigation, arbitration and mediation proceedings, including multi-jurisdictional disputes and commercial, restructuring and property-related cases. Support is provided by experienced associate Hannia Vargas, who focuses on judicial collection and civil proceedings.

Testimonials

- I really don't have any experience with other firms since hiring Dentons. It hasn't been necessary. They have everything needed to resolve disputes that have arisen in our business area, and they understand the sector in which the company operates very well.
- Extensive experience, years of knowing each other, colloquial language and easy understanding of the technical elements in both senses (legal and engineering), the link between both areas, knowledge of national legislation.
- Onboarding was super efficient, our point of contact was one of its partners (Roy Herrera) who was super helpful. He was at all times up to speed with all the open fronts and was always giving the best advice on how to move forward. Attention is customer-first to fulfill all of our needs. When new teams came in, onboarding was super fast without delaying anything and helped us move forward.
- Roy Herrera was super helpful, always available, offering good guidance and advice for our decision-making.
