Praised by clients for being ‘agile and responsive’, the dispute resolution group at Andersen in Spain is a solid choice for construction, automotive, and financial services companies seeking assistance with domestic and cross-border litigation and arbitration. The team is particularly adept at handling disputes arising from construction contracts, product liabilities, and insolvency, as well as unfair competition, agency and distribution agreements, and civil liabilities. Jointly steering the practice are Valencia-based Benjamín Prieto and Madrid’s Íñigo Rodríguez-Sastre; Prieto is recognised for his expertise in civil and criminal proceedings, while Rodríguez-Sastre is considered the ’go-to person for commercial arbitration’ and corporate litigation. The practice also benefits from the aptitude of Luis Cortezo and Federico Pérez, both of whom are active in the Madrid office.
