DLA Piper Mexico

DLA Piper Mexico's arbitration practice is experienced in cross-border disputes for domestic and multinational clients, with a strong track record in breach of contract, insolvency-related matters, enforcement proceedings and recovery claims. Practice head Kate Brown de Vejar regularly represents clients before the LCIA, ICC, UNCITRAL and other arbitral institutions, particularly in disputes involving heavy industry. Counsel Juan Pablo Moyano focuses on disputes arising in the energy, infrastructure and technology sectors, often involving multijurisdictional elements, while fellow counsel Ricardo Alarcón is active in natural resources and construction disputes, as well as cross-border commercial, investment and corporate matters. The practice was strengthened by the arrival of senior counsel Arianna Sánchez, formerly a partner at Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle LLP, and associate Raúl Quintero, who joined from Von Wobeser y Sierra, SC. Former practice head Gabriela Álvarez-Ávila left the firm in March 2026 to become Deputy Secretary-General of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), while associate Irene Cuéllar Araiza left in August 2026 to pursue an LLM.
