Dispute resolution: litigation

Hogan Lovells

Hogan Lovells fields one of the broadest litigation departments in Mexico, skilled across a large swathe of industry sectors, as well as being adept at handling all types of work, including class actions, constitutional litigation, and shareholder disputes. The group’s slate of work continues to feature some of the most notable cases in the insurance space, a healthy share of the mandates emerging from Mexico's troubled energy sector, and varied cases representing tech companies. Co-leader of the practice Omar Guerrero (a 'very good trial lawyer'; 'intelligent, cautious, bold when necessary, sensitive and extremely sensible') is one of Mexico’s standout commercial litigators; he also has a notable competition and antitrust aspect to his practice. Alongside him at the helm of the practice is Luis Enrique Graham, a renowned name for dispute resolution in Mexico, and an experienced litigator before the Supreme Court. Both are based at the Mexico City office, while in Monterrey the senior partner contact is Alejandro García González, who is regarded as a strong choice of counsel for commercial, financial and administrative litigation. Jorge Valdés King's contentious experience takes in contractual disputes, torts, shareholder controversies, moral damage claims, real estate issues and the full range of collection matters. Younger partner Luis Ernesto Peón, in turn, has a broad practice that includes civil, commercial, administrative and constitutional litigation, along with insolvency proceedings. At counsel level, Juan Arturo Dueñas is well versed in representing major domestic and foreign companies in commercial litigation.
