Simons & De Noriega

'One of the best law firms specialising in litigation and arbitration - highly prestigious and well-regarded', specialist disputes boutique Simons & De Noriega has experience in constitutional, contentious-administrative, tax, regulatory, contractual and corporate conflicts for clients drawn from a broad array of sectors (including construction, telecommunications, mining, energy and infrastructure, among others). Three partners lead the practice: Adrían Simons, Verónica de Noriega and Adolfo Pinillos. Simons is a 30 year veteran who specialises in complex and high-stakes disputes; while de Noriega handles both arbitration and judicial litigation - particularly as regards telecoms, mining, fishing, energy, hydrocarbons and infrastructure. Pinillos - a 2023 hire from Rodríguez Angobaldo Abogados - focuses on complex disputes involving the energy sector. At associate level, intermediates Maria Alejandra Conde and Samantha Guillen provide key support. Former senior Emily Horna left in January 2025, with the firm moving to re-strengthen the team with the hire of Vanessa Vargas Becerril the same month. \n \n
