Bustamante Fabara

Bustamante Fabara stands out for its ability to handle a wide variety of commercial disputes, covering sports law cases and public contract disputes against the Ecuadorian state and the State Controller General’s Office, as well as acting in a range of civil disputes. The group’s diverse workload also extends to international arbitration and enforcement claims. María Rosa Fabara Vera and Mariana Villagómez Álvarez head the team. Vera is a strong arbitrator and is key for public contract disputes, with a strong track record in representing clients in high-profile judicial proceedings in first-instance and appellate courts, a strength of the wider group. Senior associate Francisco Dávila Caicedo, who excels in complex contractual disputes, including precedent-setting cases before the National Court of Justice, is another name to note.
