Guatemala > Dispute resolution
(Rising stars)The ‘excellent‘ dispute resolution practice at Alegalis is equally adept at handling civil and criminal litigation, including commercial, constitutional, debt collection, property recovery and environmental damage cases. Notably, the team leverages firm-wide strength in the real estate sector to represent major developers in the region in an array of disputes. Criminal IP litigation is another strength and the practice frequently handles anti-counterfeiting actions on behalf of household-name international brands in the sports, fashion and consumer goods industries. Carlos Gustavo Palacios leads the civil litigation department (with expertise in commercial, banking, real estate and constitutional disputes), and director Cristian Rojas heads the criminal litigation side of the practice. Managing partner Juan Antonio Mazariegos, whose litigation experience spans civil, criminal and constitutional cases, is also a leading practitioner in the team.
