Alegalis' active dispute resolution practice strikes a balance between civil and criminal litigation. The team wins praise for its ‘wide range of coverage and specialisation', but is particularly noted for its expertise in representing developer clients in the real estate sector, in line with the firm’s overall strength in this field. Another key pillar of the practice is criminal IP litigation, where the team frequently acts for leading international brands in anti-counterfeiting actions. Carlos Gustavo Palacios takes the lead in the full range of civil and commercial disputes, including debt recovery and foreclosure proceedings, while director Cristian Rojas heads the criminal side of the practice, with key expertise in criminal IP and property damage cases. Managing partner Juan Antonio Mazariegos also lends senior expertise to the team.
