Work highlights

Initiated an ICC arbitration for David Arelle Seargent against Tesla Energy over payments under a Stock Purchase Agreement and, after receiving a partially favourable award that also ordered reimbursement to Tesla, successfully pursued a partial annulment in Mexican court on grounds of public policy violations and improper tribunal constitution—an outcome now under review by the Mexican Supreme Court in a precedent-setting amparo proceeding.
