Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Great team with highly sophisticated litigation and arbitration management, a true boutique.’

  • ‘Partners with extensive experience and professionalism like Juan José Iturbe.’

  • ‘This is an area that Malpica is fostering after the judicial reform in Mexico. We have seen them in arbitration, and we believe they will become a strong player in the field. They are outstanding litigators in administrative and regulatory matters, but they are definitely well-versed in arbitration.’

  • ‘Excellent attorney-client relationship. The attorneys are open to discussing complex issues and can simplify them for the judges.’

  • ‘The quality that makes them stand out the most is the human quality of each of the members we’ve worked with. In addition to their warm, personable demeanour, they inspire complete trust. We recommend Horacio Paredes and, of course, Carlos Malpica.’
