Cuatrecasas is regularly turned to by blue-chip clients from the automotive, technology, and financial services sectors, among others, for assistance with ICSID arbitrations, financial litigation, and corporate disputes, as well as cassation appeals and annulment proceedings. In Barcelona, Antonio Carreño is the key point of contact for litigation mandates, while Alfonso Iglesia heads up the department in Madrid and specialises in arbitration relating to construction projects. The team also benefits from the aptitude of Madrid-based Alvaro Mendiola, who is adept at leading on transactional and contractual disputes in the context of litigation, arbitration, and alternative dispute resolution proceedings. On the international arbitration front, Madrid’s Alberto Fortún and Alfonso Gómez-Acebo stand out for their considerable experience acting before the ICC.
