AVL Abogados handles both complex litigation and arbitration but is best known for the latter; the team regularly advises an array of local and multinational mining and energy players, as well as Ecuadorian public entities, in complex mining disputes, from constitutional and administrative proceedings to ICC arbitrations. Practice head Xavier Andrade Cadena leverages his arbitration experience to serve as the main port of call on the team’s dispute mandates. At associate level, seniors Estefanía Fierro Valle (international arbitration and complex litigation, including the strategic design and day-to-day management of high-value disputes), and Daniela Guarderas (arbitration, administrative litigation, and public law disputes), are the names to note.
