Arbitrations and sanctioning proceedings are additional key areas of strength.

Additional names to note include counsel Eduardo Ortega, who was promoted to his current position in January 2025; the ’highly qualified’ principal associate Giancarlo Vignolo; and senior associate Lissy Vega Centeno, lauded for her ‘proactivity’ and ’analytical skills’. Ortega, Vignolo and Vega Centeno all deal with administrative law, infrastructure and public procurement matters.
