Creel, García-Cuéllar, Aiza y Enríquez, S.C. fields a strong arbitration practice that coordinates with the firm’s teams in administrative litigation and alternative dispute resolution methods to support clients in the context of cross-border transactions and projects. The department is well versed in various kinds of disputes and acting under the distinct rules of differing domestic and international arbitral institutions and seats. Mexico’s most active sectors when it comes to complex disputes are all represented in the team’s slate of work; infrastructure, energy and hospitality all cropping up regularly. Practice head Elsa Ortega has experience acting as party counsel, sole arbitrator and chair of arbitral tribunals in cases both domestic and international. Senior arbitrator and of counsel to the team, former judge of the International Court of Justice Bernardo Sepúlveda Amor is a key reference point for the department; while Sofía Gómez Ruano (‘particularly responsive and pragmatic’) focuses on domestic and international commercial arbitration and commercial mediation. ‘An excellent lawyer with a lot of experience in arbitration matters’, highly-regarded counsel Luis Jardón is the leading figure beneath partner level; he specialises in dispute resolution, regulatory law and international investment protection law.
