Praised for its ‘excellent leadership in the resolution of disputes', Arias fields a comprehensive practice spanning civil, commercial, administrative and constitutional litigation, frequently joining forces with the firm’s IP, tax and labour departments to handle significant contentious matters in these areas. Criminal cases form another key dimension of the practice; this is a specialist area for former assistant district attorney Mónica Medrano, who was promoted to special counsel in 2023, and has an excellent record in fraud and money laundering-related cases. On the arbitration front, the team is adept at handling both local and cross-border proceedings, drawing on the experience as an arbitrator of practice head Mario René Archila, whose three decades of practice run the gamut of dispute resolution matters. The capable pool of associates includes Karla Gómez, who specialises in labour litigation, and Alvaro Reyes, who acts alongside Archila on a wide range of commercial and administrative cases.
