Arbitration Law

Our firm offers comprehensive dispute resolution expertise in arbitration and mediation, handling complex matters both within Panama and on the international stage. We represent a diverse clientele, from commercial entities in high-stakes contractual disputes to investors pursuing claims against sovereign states and adeptly manage all related court proceedings, including actions to enforce arbitration agreements or to challenge awards.

OverView

Our practice is inherently global; the majority of our cases possess a significant cross-border dimension. We provide end-to-end support across the entire spectrum of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), not only as lead or local counsel but also serving as appointed arbitrators, expert witnesses, or tribunal registrars.

In every engagement, whether arbitration or mediation, we apply the same rigorous principles that define our litigation approach: speed, thoroughness, strategic imagination, client empathy, tenacious diligence, and unwavering clarity in goals and strategy, all grounded in pragmatic realism.

Representative Experience

Our team has been entrusted with significant mandates, including:

  • Acting for foreign investors in a high-value investment treaty arbitration against the state of Panama.
  • Representing private equity firms in a London-seated arbitration against portfolio companies in the financial services sector.
