Offering assistance with domestic and international arbitration and litigation, as well as pre-litigation matters, the practice’s varied caseload includes disputes prompted by commercial agreements, transactions, unfair competition, IP and restructuring issues. The group’s experience representing clients before a range of judicial and administrative bodies, including the Supreme Court and the ICC, makes it a trusted adviser to multinational financial institutions, technology companies, and hedge funds. Jesús Almoguera, described by clients as ‘one of the best lawyers in Spain’, co-heads the department alongside Eduardo Vázquez de Prada and Carlos González Pulido and is reputed for the depth of his expertise in corporate, insolvency, and antitrust disputes.
