Negotiation and Dispute Resolution

We represent companies and public entities in disputes that demand strategy, experience, and technical depth.

We specialize in domestic and international arbitration, complex litigation, and alternative dispute resolution, with particular strength in cross-border matters. We anticipate risks, design strategies for high-stakes environments, and advocate with precision, depth and sound legal judgment.

What we do

International Arbitration

We represent clients in international arbitrations under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL), and the Bogotá Chamber of Commerce, among others. Our team advises on the negotiation and drafting of arbitration agreements and guides clients through every stage of the process—from pre-dispute strategy and risk assessment to the conduct of the proceedings and enforcement of awards. We have deep sector experience in a variety of industries, including infrastructure, mining, energy, and oil & gas.

Dispute Prevention

We design and implement institutional policies and protocols to prevent litigation and unlawful harm, with a particular focus on public entities subject to fiscal and disciplinary oversight.
