Backed by collaborative capabilities with its offices across Latin America, Cuatrecasas' Mexico office has a strong international arbitration offering that sees it regularly engaged by domestic and multinational companies for counsel and representation in disputes in the energy, construction and real estate sectors. The team specialises in contentious matters arising from building and engineering contracts and energy agreements, many of which involve renewable energy projects. Leading the practice is René Irra, a distinguished arbitral counsel and an expert in Mexican law - the latter strengthening his ability to represent domestic companies in international proceedings and international clients in Mexico-related disputes. Miguel Ángel Ortiz is a name to note for alternative dispute resolution methods, while additional support is provided by associate Elisa Legorreta, who is particularly adept in mediation.
